When using JavaScript libraries such as jQuery or MooTools, they currently need to be called from another file using an empty <script></script> element. It is not currently possible, however, for a browser to have such libraries pre-installed. I would like to suggest the introduction of an empty <library> (<library /> in XHTML) containing the attributes: name (required) - the library's name. Case insensitive. minvers - the minimum version required maxvers - the maximum version required src - the URL of the library, if a suitable version isn't pre-installed, similar to <script> type - just like <script>, the MIME type of the library. Defaults to "text/javascript". For example, jQuery (at least 1.4) could be called using: <library name="jquery" minvers="1.4" src="jquery-1.6.2.min.js" /> Thanks, Andrew Martin
