Item14297: NatSkin places script zone at end of page, potentially breaking inline scripts

The NatSkin templates released on Jan. 23 relocates the rendering of the script zone from the page header to the end of the page body. I suspect this was done to improve the page loading experience, but it breaks any inline Javascript that assumes libraries have already been loaded. This includes some pages in Foswiki plugins such as UpdatePlugin. I can see this being a desirable trait, but would it be possible for the skin to include an option to allow users to select whether they want this behavior or the original behavior, and to leave the default on the original behavior? Unless I missed it, there's no warning about this change in the update notes, and in a site with thousands of pages it's not practical to adapt every page to this change.

This has been reverted not to break inline scripts.
