Thanks Evan! I actually already started along this big js blob path and was just beginning to see the problem with clashing page inits. Your solution with an init func per page will probably do just fine for me too so I'll try that now. With conditional caching on the big js file, it should only need to be loaded once per site release, so it should also be ok.
