Unless the optimizer made sure that it didn't inadvertently break any cross-browser compatibility, you would lose one of the biggest benefits of libraries like jQuery.

Right; I imagine library authors would have to adopt some sort of conventional annotation on functions declaring something like "if you execute any function in the set {X,Y,Z}, you have to include all of {X,Y,Z}, because they're cross-platform equivalents for one-another."

GWT solves this problem a few years ago.
