couldn't agree more. some plugins, like the "Extended Live Archives" 
plugin,
which need to output some Javascript etc. they do it on the "wp_head" 
call
which results in the Javascript files being called on every page, even 
though
they are useful only on the single Archives page. so being able to 
output
stuff to <head> on a conditional basis would be quite kewl.

but as I gave it a thought, can it be done by checking whether the 
request
is for a page(with a particular name etc.) or post from within the 
plugin? I've
seen some themes employ conditional includes in sidebars etc. by 
checking
whether its a page or post etc. so can that be checked from within a 
plugin?
