Relatedly -- I had some trouble summarizing some of the items in the Namecoin section because the security, privacy, and scalability properties of Namecoin are somewhat different depending on whether the user is using a full node (downloads the entire blockchain), a FBR-C node (receives full blocks that can contain current name transactions), or a headers-only node (receives only block headers).
I didn't want to change the layout of the page much without asking, but would it make sense to split the Namecoin section into multiple sections (a section for each of those node types)? Or is it preferred to keep them in 1 section and say which of the security properties / drawbacks apply to which node types (which is what I've done for the moment)?
This is a fair point. I agree that we should split it up accordingly to "Namecoin (full blockchain)" and "Namecoin (thin/SPV client)". Both have different descriptions, security properties, and drawbacks so it would probably be more organized this way.
