Well - that's my point. I think it doesn't care if the (static) JS-file 
is included in the <head> or at the end of the <body> tag, because I 
think the browser reads the line pointing to the JS-file and fetches it 
directly from the browser-cache.
If you are speaking of dynamic JS files generated by TYPO3 - then your 
targets are good.

But I'm not sure about the caching of external files inside the browser 
when the loaded HTML page is not allowed to cache.
