For the record, we prototyped this way back in February of 2008 and ran
into some trouble, but I think it could have been worked around.

Roger created 702, which I've marked as a dup of Dan's 700.  Also
important is the existing 468, which is for people that want to do their
own <head> yet put something like <h:relocationTarget> in there.
Dreamweaver types wanted this.
