We can assume that we will upgrade it to something. I don't think we
should complicate this conversation by talking about what the next
version will be. If we do this right the next upgrade might be not so
complicated.

I realize having several versions of doc-head-close-*.inc is
complicated because we have to keep them in sync. Is there another
reason to avoid it? It's certainly not something the user will care
about.

I think it would be nice to not add another JS dependency.
