private browsing support?

Just trying out FF3.1b3 I noticed this:
1) enter private browsing mode
2) temporarily allow a site in NoScript
3) permanently allow a site in NoScript
4) exit private browsing mode

Expected that the whitelist would no longer contain the added sites, but it does. I thought (3) might even not have been allowed at all - since it seemed the simplest way to support PB mode might be to disable permanent additions while in PB mode and revoke all temporary permissions on exit (including those granted prior to PB mode)

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3) Gecko/20090305 Firefox/3.1b3
NoScript 1.9.1.2

I thought this must've come up at some point on the forums, but I can't see anything so I thought I'd mention it.

Sounds like a great idea, even though right now PB mode user could just Temporary Allow by choice and Revoke Temporary Permissions as soon as he's done.
