Description

It would be nice if JavaScriptLibrarySettings had a generic mechanism to register javascript/css resource references (maybe using something like MetaDataKeys).

This way, extension/third-party components (ModalWindow, DateTimeField, etc.) could register their resources, or just lookup for substitute resource references for their own scripts/stylesheets.

This would allow some optimizations, such as minification/compression and joining many files into one, and hosting static files in CDNs.
