When I said "stuff in the head", I didn't really mean to emphasize the
head, just that I've experienced problems with both script and style
in IE.

I know $('head').append('<script type="text/javascript" src="..."></'
+ 'script>') has not worked in IE in previous versions of jQuery, but
I haven't tried it lately.

True, but I assumed the not IE way would be more efficient, and I hate
writing "dumber" code to pander to IE.
Thanks for the info on doing it natively. Is this something that might
make sense to add to the jQuery core, if not just for consistency? I
don't expect jQuery to be a full String parser, but since it seems
that it pretty much already is, might it make sense to address this so
it works consistently?
