[wp-hackers] wp_enqueue_script interCapping gotcha

Ignore the below: It was actually a typo I'd made that prevented  
wp_footer() from loading in theme. And it looks like intercapping is  
now permissible in wp_enqueue_script handles as well.

I had hoped my first post to this list wouldn't involve shooting  
myself in the foot. Sorry, everybody.
