I totally agree. I don't see a problem there either. That was just one of the 
reasons I heard a while back when this topic was brought up before. (No, 
don't ask me when and where this was.) I'd favor going the way with internal 
linkage now, and think about the interaction with export when that is 
imminent. AFAIK, nobody ever even uttered he'd be interested in implementing 
export...
