 * It would be nice if external scripts and stylesheets could be associated with
   a shortcode. Those external files would be loaded on each page where the corresponding
   shortcode exists.
 * Script Tags: They could actually be added to the shortcode itself, but it may
   be nicer to get them added to the head tag (though maybe not a big deal). Attribute
   options (such as async and defer) should be included. Inline scripts could be
   used, but that breaks the separation of markup and code, and could also violate
   a Content Security Policy.
 * Link Tags: External stylesheets are only supposed to be included in the head 
   tag, so it’s actually not possible to include a corresponding external file stylesheet
   inline with the shortcode. Style tags or attributes could be used, but that breaks
   the separation of markup and style, and could also violate a Content Security
   Policy.
