That would seem to me like a bit of a sledgehammer solution. All you need to do is use the Javascript::link / Html::css functions in your views, without the inline setting, and they will be added to the collection when you get round to replacing scripts_for_layout in your layout. Of course you could also subclass a view to do the automagic approach, keeping the view stuff (css and javascript) in the view layer, rather than putting it in your controllers.
