Comment:
Rather than having inline documentation for external scripts, what would be
infinitely more useful would be the contents of a script tag with a src
attribute should be executed upon the complete loading and execution of the
remote script. Therefore <script src="blah.js">var b = new blah();</script>
would create a new blah() object after loading the blah.js library. The
biggest topic for would be whether or not creating var blah = new blah() from
within a script tags body would place blah in the window scope or if it would
be the same as executing from a function scope wherein it has context from the
contents of blah.js.
