Watch that language! No bug fixes for you! :-)
I'm thinking about fixes for your issues. First, a simple way to insert
static JavaScript would be nice (both inline, and as references to
JavaScript stored as an asset).
Second, we could work around <insert/>. For example, we could adopt an
additional, Ant-like, syntax, i.e.
function ${function-name} ()
{
document.${form.name}. .....
And allow that inside CDATA (which would simplify the business about XML
entities such as & and <).

Tapestry has always had a very fun, evolutionary nature. Rather than try to
solve every problem first, up front, I've created
a flexible framework on which to build strong solutions. As the need for a
new feature becomes evident, it is added to the framework. It's not that
Tapestry can't support multiple stylesheets, its that it doesn't do it now.
You can always create a custom version of Shell for your application. You
can also add a freakin' bug if you want to see something changed.
You only have to worry about converting things to assets when they are
dynamic; either dynamic in response to user behavior, or dynamic in terms of
localization.
