I've been in the same problematic situation as well. However, we managed
to use jQuerys noConflict mode in the 3'rd part component so that was
great - but two questions:
1)
Would it be possible to implement a noConflict mode in prototype? (why
isn't there one already?)
2)
Why use the "$" per default? is it "by nature" of some javascript thing
I havent realized - or is it just "by convention", aka could it have
been "P" or "£" just as well?
