This is all great, but as far as I can tell, nothing above is currently usable on the web.

I would have lots of questions around this, including how many of the concerns previously discussed here are addressed by this implementation. Like I was proposing with the namespace function, I think that "require.js" would need to become "available by default" and as a standard for it to be utilized like it probably should - but still available for backporting (as with the Array extras, etc.) for the browsers and other implementations that don't yet have built-in support. However, I'm content to let the rest of the community continue this discussion. This quickly became much more of a involved discussion than I expected / had hoped for. -- Mark A.
