Comment (by oldbucsfan):

 Inline is a great solution when you have an isolated piece of code, but
 when many pages call the same code, it is inefficient to have each page
 contain it's own code.

 The only real solutions are to parse .js files or to change your
 javascript files to .php files and use the appropriate header to let the
 browser know it is actually a javascript file.

 It seems to me that the small change would simply be a good way to go to
 prevent any potential problems with php, but it may be too rare a
 situation to warrant a change.
