Thanks for the reply.

So using enqueue *can* achieve the same register with the addition of also emitting the link into the header. If I misunderstand please let me know otherwise it's what I assumed would make sense.

But that would only help *if* different plugins used the same name, right?  So three different plugins could register "Nifty Corners"[1] respectively  each as the following and they would all three get included, right?

   1.) wp_register_script('niftycorners', ...);
   2.) wp_register_script('nifty-corners', ...);
   3.) wp_register_script('nifty_corners', ...);

Hence my suggestion to have a single place to list how they are used...?
