I think this is really important, so I wrote a little article about it.

Feedback is highly appreciated.

I would suggest a slightly different approach. Or at least this is how I 
(would) do it.

If you use pure progressive Enhancement then you actually don't need 
dynamically created javascript code. Just create the HTML+CSS include a 
static js file and you should have the enhanced version.

So just a switch like $useThisJsFile (just kidding) should be perfectly 
fine. All js Files this file depends on should be either autoloaded on 
demand or included in a autogenerated minified file.

I actually working on something like this for MooTools right now. You 
can find 2 more articles about that on my blog.

So to give an example if someone wants to use Tabs. He just does for 
example:

<div class="tabs">
   <h3>TabTitel</h3>
   <div>content</div>
   <h3>anotherTab</h3>
   <div>anotherContent</h3>
</div>

So a static js file like get all divs with class="tabs" and use the h3 
as title and the div as content would be be perfectly fine. In MooTools 
it would look something like this:

new autoTabMenus( $$('.tabs'), 'h3', 'div' );

not really complicated so, I would say we don't need any php for this.

ok, who is still with me? I think I have to create another article on 
this...

cheers
