[theme-reviewers] wp_enqueue_script

[Chip Bennett]

Okay, I suggested the template_redirect() hook in the ticket.

But, what we really need is what the official best-practice suggestion will
be, for the purposes of the Guidelines. We need to ensure that all reviewers
will be making consistent suggestions with respect to wp_enqueue_script()
within functions.php.
