"Rewrite" normally means making big changes, but I think you're
using it to mean "alter".

Indeed, my proposal would include altering the DOM.

That makes sense.

That makes sense.

There is no reason for the initial HTML to refer to klipse.js at all.
Since that is a Javascript program, there is no point fetching it at
all unless Javascript is enabled.

If the URL for loading it is filled in by execution of other previous
JS code, there is no chance of prefetching klipse.js from anywhere.

So, is there any flaw in this plan?
