Hi, Has this been discussed before? In a nutshell this diagram illustrates the idea:
http://i.imgur.com/X1n57iQ.png - Rather than referencing a url in <script> or <style> tags, we require the browser to load name-spaced, versioned libraries. For example: com.jquery:jquery:1.0. - This can either be done using the <script>/<style> tags similar to <script module="com.jquery:jquery:1.0"/> or <style module="com.jquery:jquery:1.0" /> or probably programmatically too: (in a JS file: require "com.jquery:jquery:1.0") - There will be a central placed governed by W3C, for example, that can host libraries. Third-party repositories could also exist and be used (e.g. <script module="com.jquery:jquery:1.0" repository="cdn.jquery.com "/> - One benefit of this is dependency management. If jquery, for example, depends on lodash, it also gets downloaded and loaded automatically. This is just the core of the idea. Nothing new (already similar systems are available for Java, Node, .NET, Ruby, etc.) but this will bring it to the web. What do you think? -- Best regards, Behrang Saeedzadeh
