[theme-reviewers] wp_enqueue_script

[Chip Bennett]

Hmm... I'm completely unfamiliar with the template_redirect hook - and, I
thought enqueueing scripts was one of the uses of wp_head()? (Learning
something new every day, I guess!)

So, should I recommend hooking into template_redirect(), or wp_footer() - or
either, or both?
