Yes it is quirky. Don't take it too seriously. Basically you should make
sure to have semicolons where they are optional and stuff like that.
Because the compressor will pack everything in a single line these are
the things that usually make problems. If your script still works when
run through DokuWiki's compressor, feel free to ignore JSLint's
warnings.
