Tim, you're right about the load order thing.  I had debated naming the 
new extensions "styles_n_scripts_xxx" but I've decided that carpal 
tunnel syndrome just is not for me.

But I hadn't considered renaming the whole extension to "sns" though.  I 
think I like that idea for several reasons.

However, it would require users to physically change something on their 
servers -- not just update from svn.  You would have to change from:
    /vendor/extensions/styles_n_scripts
to:
    /vendor/extensions/sns

Would anyone be opposed to my renaming the extension like this?

P.S. Just to be clear, I'd only be renaming files and their related 
code. Oh, and rake tasks would now be "rake radiant:extensions:sns"  But 
otherwise everything would be *identical* to your users (even the 
extension name in the Admin panel would still show "Styles 'n Scripts").
