I wonder if it is worth "standardizing" around the jsonp callback so 
that people don't have to fiddle with files as exhibits move from site 
to site.   ie, to require that _every_ exhibit file use the foo() 
convention.  If it is local and we care, then exhibit can strip the 
foo() wrapper and parse the file itself, instead of invoking.  Could 
also use a standard function name so there is no need to add the 
jsonp-callback attribute either.
