It didn't take you long to find the flaw in the approach :). Mainly you should work with what is in the wiki. If you get help with something that isn't in the wiki raise it as something to add.
The tag libraries are probably the most reliable - when we do work on them it is usually to add features. It's rare for them to be removed or their interfaces changed. The security scope (application.security) is effectively API. To a lesser extend so are the components in application.factory. Actually FU might be in there, so returnFU is probably OK, but if there is a tag and a function that do the same thing the tag will always be more reliable. Does this make sense?
