That's a good idea, totally worth doing. It would provide shorter URLs, too, which shave bytes on the HTML page loading the combo-handled resource. For now, though, we're providing the configuration tool (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/hosting ) to help folks keep dependencies well sorted and we'll be building combo-handler syntax into loaders on the server and client-side in the future, hopefully moving away from situations where users are hand-coding dependency lists. -Eric @Steve — That request has come in on the YUIBlog post as well — having the combo handler itself incorporate the functionality of a Loader engine that understands the YUI dependency tree.
