If this is the case then
<!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->-1<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->
(besides.. the locationtracker does not work at the moment... if you are in repairroom all chat is tagged with "(repair room)" for instance. The fix for this is on the Pivotal Tracker )
I'm not sure what the suggestion is. Is it to fix that? If so, <!--coloro:#00FF00--><span style="color:#00FF00"><!--/coloro-->+1<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->
I don't think it'd take much effort to fix. If it were exposed to lua, a community member could probably fix it in a couple minutes and send in the code. Or the developers could do it themselves. Honestly, it's low priority, along with a whole bunch of other things. They should release a massive collection of low-priority items patch; you add the little changes together and I'd say they're worth the same as a few bigger changes.
Regarding those drawbacks...
1. ANY SUGGESTION will require developer attention. This is assumed. This must be ignored.
2. Rofl. Unlikely. That's bad game design.
Basically, drawbacks do not exist.
Also, great to see you using the formatting! This was a much easier to read post.
I like it! I like it a lot!
