Just thinking that for a jQuery based template you may want some options that allow for example an easy was (a tab with a checkbox within) to switch from using the CDN jquery link (if for example you are mainly delivering that LO to mobile devices over 3G) to reduce bandwith… not the best example but would make it more flexible… again I’m thinking of the way Wordpress/Drupal provides hooks to augment admin and content areas…
