Well, that seems to work quite well on Firefox.

However, it's caused me to notice that non-standard messages don't show 
up under Special:Allmessages. For example, I've added to my LS file,

$wgNavigationLinks = array (
   array( 'text'=>'mainpage',      'href'=>'mainpage' ),
   array( 'text'=>'portal',        'href'=>'portal-url' ),
   array( 'text'=>'currentevents', 'href'=>'currentevents-url' ),
   array( 'text'=>'recentchanges', 'href'=>'recentchanges-url' ),
   array( 'text'=>'randompage',    'href'=>'randompage-url' ),
   array( 'text'=>'help',          'href'=>'helppage' ),
   array( 'text'=>'sitesupport',   'href'=>'sitesupport-url' ),
   array( 'text'=>'sandbox',       'href'=>'sandbox-url' ),
);

and set MediaWiki:Sandbox = Sandbox and MediaWiki:Sandbox-url = 
Project:Sandbox but neither of these messages show up on 
Special:Allmessages (MW v1.4.0). Apparently, it only shows those with 
Language.php entries.
