(And yes, if it is done it should be done and given back not be done constantly within myfaces) And I do not see it as a real problem currently, since there have not been any real issues in this area for the last year, I am aware of.
The main problem is more the fiddeling around with basic javascript structures, which then makes the code very compact, but can cause interference problems (and has, ask the Struts people ;-) ) The main problem is that a proposed switching to DOJO does not make sense at the current state of DOJO (see my other post I just sent) DOJOs loading times are, lets put it mildly good for spending a stress free few dozends of seconds) and DOJOs state is currently under heavy fluctuation (which is the smaller issue, given the fact that they have a deprecation mechanism). So Martins advice probably is the best, lets way what Oracle is putting onto the table.
