The only thing I would comment on is that we may want to document (for the build process) a way to force a certain ordering of various files. Case in point we probably want to force the things like various global defs (what I'm proposing in the timezone stuff) at the top and let the function defs go below that.
Actually I don't think that matters, at least not if JavaScript files
contain only variables and functions, and do not include any code that
is actually run when file is loaded. A very simple test (below)
confirms that.
In JavaScript variable declarations ('var' keyword) and function
definitions ('function' keyword) get "hoisted" at beginning.
Other than that this all looks good.
Thanks.
