So, are you saying that I should do something like:

$transient_key =
wp_hash("namespace_youtube:playlist_or_user|||cache_time|||number_of_items"
, 'md5');

In that case, could I drop "namespace_youtube:" and just md5 the rest
for the key?

Sorry if I'm asking silly questions ... I just want to make sure I'm
following standard procedure here. :)

Thanks so much!

Cheers,
