A question, Julian. Why is it necessary for the plugin to call in jquery.min.js? I'm asking because in the (GS) sites I've done so far (and I don't see it changing any time soon) I'm using a number of other jQuery plugins in the templates, meaning that I already have the latest version of jQuery called in. Now, I realise that my situation most certainly might not be everyone's - some prefer Prototype/Scriptaculous, some like Mootools etc. Which makes it even more interesting to understand why the general call for jquery.min is necessary. I'm thinking it might be smarter to state as a requirement for the plugin that jQuery be used - if that indeed is a requirement - and leave it up to the developer to call in the necessary library the way he/she/it sees fit. Or am I overthinking it?
(I've had to remove the plugin jquery call on one site to prevent a plugin collision, that's why I started this train of thought in the first place...)

There's nothing more foolish than a man chasing his hat.
