Comment (by RuddO):

 This is a GREAT idea!

 And it would also free plugin writers from having to do the wp-
 content/plugins/plugin_basename(__FILE__) chicanery.

 All that's needed, in my opinion, would be functions "plugin_add_css",
 "plugin_add_js", and then on wp_head() WP can inject an URL that points to
 an internal file which releases the added CSS and JS.  This function could
 be loaded as part of the plugin initialization trigger (can't recall its
 name right now).

 This has definitive advantages to feeding JS and CSS inline on wp_head()
 directly.

 Note that, due to the nature of the requests, it's impossible to make
 distinctions based on which page the reader is visiting, because the
 custom CSS and JS is released to the browser separately from the original
 request.
