Included vs. Excluded Namespaces

We regularly use EditOwn and find it very helpful. I would like to suggest an enhancement that would make it easier for us to use. We typically use EditOwn only for a small set of namespaces. (You can read about one of our uses cases at http://wikimedia.7.x6.nabble.com/SMW-search-and-rating-td5052836.html#a5054728. Search for EditOwn in that discussion.) By default, EditOwn applies to all namespaces except those that are excluded. We would like the option to have it apply only to a list of included namespaces so we do not need to exhaustively list those to exclude. We propose a Boolean flag that would indicate whether to use a list of excluded or included namespaces. It would default to the current behavior so that the change would be backward compatible.
