Note that the potential efficiency gains from Special:Mypage and co. have not actually been implemented, 1.5 still sends anti-squid headers if you have a session cookie. The problem of preference-dependent HTML in the content area has also not been addressed, so there's quite a lot of work to do before these navigation link changes will be useful. A temporary revert is probably in order.
I'd agree with this. It was a fairly experimental change and accepted on that basis, so put it back for now.
Do still keep the Special:Mypage & co around, though, as they may be handy links; the important part is just showing the username to indicate clearly a) that you're logged in and b) under which account.
We might also want to implement the suggestion of a 'you're editing anonymously' warning line on the edit page.
