In particular, if some part of the site requires additional JS, then it needs
to become obvious that this is the case, and that part of the site MUST be
tolerant of a reload.

A number of sites (most annoyingly, payment processing, for which JS ought to
be exactly what you don't want),  will mysteriously stall halfway through the
"checkout", because some *new* source of JS is necessary.  Often loaded by
some other JS.

This is something people who use NoScript see regularly.
So far, I've not had this problem with ietf.org sites, and I think that
Henrik made a decree (perhaps not so strongly worded...) that all JS files
should come from IETF servers.  (Here is a place for ni: urls..)
