I don't know what webdev "conventional wisdom" is, but it would be
nice to use site that don't eat my CPU because of a billion different
javascript, erm, scripts all trying to do things. There's something to
be said for rolling your own libraries.

However, I would like jQuery's CSS selector engine as a standalone
library, sooo much easier than complex DOM lookups, especially when
you want something fairly specific.
