Well I suppose some scripts weren't written to be self-contained and cannot easily be obfuscated - if at all. Maybe there's more of those then I'd like to believe. I don't have your bird's eye view. You surely have a better idea what's out there.

But speaking for the scripts on my own include list(s): Yes it's possible to obfuscate them. For most - not all of them - I know that for a fact. I've been experimenting with the YUI Compressor.

w:c:dev:Sine/code.js e.g. consumes 8188B on my harddrive. Minified with the ResourceLoader it's 4492B. Minified with the YUI Compressor it's 3474B. The absolute numbers are laughable of course, but percentage-wise it's another story. The obfuscation shaves off an additional 25%. That's not too shabby.
