And there are two further points in favour of this approach.
1) Since an XML editor and and XSLT processor will let you accidentally
damage the innards of a <script> element while editing the XSLT code,
it's much better to keep the static parts out of harm's way in their own
js libraries
2) You can invoke such libraries from multiple html pages. That way,
they can stay cached after the first invocation and don't get sent
again, even if the main page is refreshed.
