That NOT was just silly!

Come back with it, please.

What do you use it for? If you want to make sure your scripts don't run until 
the DOM is fully loaded, wrapping your scripts in:

    (function() {
        // here
    })();

is more effective.

In either case, I'm considering just moving all injected scripts to the end of 
the body. Having both head and body JS didn't make much sense.

Actually, I have nothing that can not be adapted.

I just wanted you to know that it was just silly.

For many users can better visualize scripts separately from the head and body.

But you do not see this as a requirement, feel free to close the issue.

Fair enough. In terms of organization it would make sense to put helper 
functions in the head and initialization JS in the body. However, in practice, 
initialization stuff should use the self-executing closure above and all 
scripts should be together at the end of the body to avoid spinning up the JS 
engine while the DOM is still being built.

In the case of minimalist, it's a data compression and UI issue. It's simpler 
to have just a single field and it makes the data a bit smaller (this 
contributed to my ability to add sync in the last version.)

Hope it isn't too much trouble!
