Why do algebraic geometers still use the term "quasi-compact" when they almost never deal with Hausdorff spaces? They certainly use "local" rather than "quasi-local" (local = quasi-local + noetherian), so is there any reason other than historical contingency?
Do algebraic geometers who do work in other fields still follow this convention when they write other papers? If they do, do they write at the beginning of the paper something along the lines of "by compact, we mean quasi-compact and Hausdorff"?
