Laconic: A Sane Method of Generating DOM Content in JavaScript

I think 'a' and 'p' are the only ones among those you'd actually want. I could probably live with with those limitations.

Now that I think about it, that might break a few sortFunction(a,b) {//do stuff with a and b} type functions of mine...

No, it won't break them; it will just make them confusing to read. The scope of the function arguments would be more local, so they would hide the declarations further up the scope chain.

What's more of a problem is if you have something like this: https://gist.github.com/2499913

The problem is that the "var p" in the for loop will be hoisted to the top of the scope, and so when you call p() in the first line, it will actually be undefined.
