With my new posting powers, I'll add that it's not just Dossy using the ns_ as stopwords. Think about the googlebots.
Like modern monks, toiling long hours in dim light with few breaks, the googlebots scour the net, thankless, repetitive work, never breaking their vows of silence or chastity, transcribing and indexing all they find so that we may one day recover it. If we don't feed them the right stop words, we'll never be able to make use of their works. Think of the googlebots!
