Yes, but this works only on a PAGE object. I does not work out of the
box, when you install an extension that provides additional header data.
The plugin always has to modify $TSFE->additionalHeaderData in PHP, but
there is no way to do it automatially via a static template.

Imagine that someone defined his main page like this:

website = PAGE

If you provide a static template with

page.includeJS.file = ...

it won't work...

Additional header data is not only about CSS and JS, you could also
define redirects or whatever...

Yes, I agree to have specific methods for adding CSS and JS in this
situation.
