I just meant that I could clearly tell you were talking about something
different and I wasn't sure what.

So this will all be new stuff in the specs, and all of the current stuff
will continue to work?
In fairness to you, Trac does have it a bit easier in that they only have
to support their own system and ID's. They probably do not need to do
anything other than search for # and turn numbers following it into a
link. Since it is their own system, they can even verify a number is
valid before doing so.
I still think the feature is potentially good in that it can "unleash" log
messages that were written prior to the new integration features.
