For embedding the code in external sites there should be as few globals as possible and the globals should be prefixed ie 'mwStartUp' and 'mwIsCompatible' Also var LEGACY_GLOBALS = true; is hard coded in mediaWiki.js, would be nice to move that to a configuration option. ( So it could be disabled )
I didn't know about this bug untill after I filed bug 28916. As they aren't 1 bug, re-phrazing summary to no longer mention the legacy thing. Putting in a seperate bug (bug 28916).
