If you have a chance to do the experiment, it would be nice to know if
google indexes your data inside the script tags. I am guessing not.
It would also be a nice addition to exhibit to allow what you've done
(specification of data inline) to happen without deactivating the
autocreate---ie, to have the autocreating exhibit check for a predefined
items variable in addition to loading data files. I guess one way would
be to embed the data definition in an "internal callback"---
function Items() {
var myData = { "items" : .... json stuff here };
return myData
}
Then have exhibit call the Items() function if it is defined. This
could combine with loading data from elsewhere.
