BTW, if that Twitter feed isn't updated live, i.e. no page reload is 
required, there's no reason to use JavaScript to load the feed.

On the other hand d-p-l.org only consists of static pages and then the 
above will not work.

New idea, if JSONP is still supported by the Twitter API that could be 
used to make an AJAX request for the Twitter feed and insert it in the 
DOM after the page has finished loaded.
