Each page has an info object, either defined wherever the page is defined, or in some centralized place, as preferred. A copy of this object is passed along to the request (or hit in qp) and it can be therefore modified freely during page processing, before rendering.
A basic idea here was to maximize sanity when developing complex html pages, as well as making those complex pages as simple as they can possibly be, for the browser to handle, and for debugging. If all css and js required by a page is built in this way, then *all* of it is rendered in the page's , that is therefore guaranteed to be all loaded by the time the page onload gets fired, thus shortcutting many potential annoyances.
