There is a way to do it using xdoc source format. Add a "<script ..." to the body element and disable validation of these xml sources. It is cheating but it should work. Another way might be to intercept the xml pipeline and add another transformation to inject the extra "<script ..." element. Our internal format is not being validated, so it should be able to be overloaded with extra elements. Another way is to hack the pelt skin and explicitly add the "<script ..." to the html output. As Brian said above, we could add a basic solution by doing something similar to "extra-css" in skinconf. None of these solutions are ideal. Hence Dispatcher. -David
