Template Library Version 1.4.1

Randy,

I teetered on the decision to add the js and css methods for the very reason that I knew a greater scope of functionality would be desired. And you're dead on about it seeming to fall out of the realm of the Template class.

My recommendation at this point remains to use other compactors or asset libraries to get that desired effect, and then use one of Template's methods to include the references to the compacted files. This is partly why I decided to use $_styles and $_scripts (note the underscores) as the 'regions' for Template's add_css() and add_js() methods, respectively.

One other thing I want to do is look into the popular libraries/scripts specialize in that kind of compacting, and, like I did with parsers, make a sort of plug-in system that would manifest itself like parsers: Just some additional configuration settings.

A lot up in the air on it still..
