I think it makes a lot of sense. Several other prominent online  
companies, including Yahoo! and AOL, offer similar Content Delivery  
Networks (CDNs) designed to speed up download time.

With such high-traffic hosting, the potential here is that your  
JavaScript libraries will be loaded out of the browser's cache instead  
of downloaded over and over again for each new domain that serves up  
the same old library.

We're planning to deliver Fluid Infusion via Google's Ajax Libraries  
API when we hit 1.0 in March.
