Let put it this way:
Why isn't there something like this in MochiKit:
targetDiv = getElement('head');
targetDiv.appendChild(SCRIPT

That's not normally a very useful way to load code because it's not
synchronous in all browsers, and you have no idea when it loaded.
The only way to load code cross-browser *and* know when it was loaded
is to use XMLHttpRequest to do it, which makes debugging damn near
impossible because you lose a lot if the code was eval'ed instead of
inserted into the DOM.
The reason that MochiKit doesn't have any of this natively is because
it's not normally the right solution, so I've never really wanted
that functionality.
