Whoops, no, this is a _feature_ of greasemonkey, for example:

@include http://www.google.tld/*

http://wiki.greasespot.net/Include_and_exclude_rules#Magic_TLD

...
http://*.youtube.com/*, which as I said, could be anything like
http://evil.domain/foo#bar.youtube.com/.   When installing 3rd party
scripts I take the trouble of transforming all this permissive
@includes into non-ambiguous one.

I applaud your effort (not to mention knowledge of the potential pitfalls), but situations like these were judged to be the severe minority, while the changes made were instead judged to be an improvement for everyone.

Long story short: it's impossible to please everyone all of the time. We do our best to please as many people as we can as much of the time as possible, but everything in the real world is a compromise.
