Issue Summary
This is a great module, because it aggregates 15 or so stylesheets that never change but leaves the one you're working on uncompressed and responsive to changes. This is truly helpful when people are using the site while it's being developed. This is especially helpful when using boost and other caching modules. My webserver thanks you.
Would it be possible to do the same for javascript files? It's the same situation there, where there are 10+ .js files loading from various modules but it's only the script.js, etc. file in your theme directory that requires updates.
I hope this makes it into core!

I don't believe IE imposes the same limits on script tags as it does on link tags, so applying this same approach there wouldn't provide any benefits.

Thanks!

Hi,
I think this would be very useful for js too.
Yes, there is no IE limit on js files, but it can be very desirable to exclude a few js files from aggregation, for development or troubleshooting.
This may or may not be something to do in this particular module.
I have not found such a module yet. Maybe this one? http://drupal.org/project/advagg
I understand if this feature request will be discarded for IE CSS Optimizer, but I think the reason to close can be better explained.
Here is one related issue:
