Logging and Testlinks should be disabled after successful testing.

Hmm , actually only those who don't have JS enabled.

The monastery should have a general JS file.

Though I'm not sure about the best way to make it a voluntary feature, maybe with cookies?

update

Please note that this approach fixes ALL links, not only monastery markup but also plain links. Both within posts and chatterbox.
