Thanks for that tip -- using a comment inside a <script
type="text/javascript"> block might have helped. Part of what made
this awkward (and the problem hard to diagnose) is the fact that firebug
(common web-dev plugin tool for firefox) evidently conflicted with
libreJS such that I could not see or access the bottom right libreJS
icon which explains the issue in detail.
I don't know if that is an issue with firebug, or libreJS, or
firefox, but it is sort of an unfortunate intersection, since my initial
response was "How the heck am I supposed to fix this without some
information about the problem", and I am sure I am not the only person
to have looked at libreJS for the first time with firebug already
installed.
I realized the difference when I ran FF as a user who does have firebug
in. Another tip, if you run into devs with similar
problems/complaints, is to tell them to look at the libreJS altered
source of the page -- this contains some clues, and I was not aware of
those until I noticed them casually.

Fortunately I did not have to change any code. The above made me
cringe because (while I actually don't write a lot of JS either), I
think the problem with putting that in a <head> included script is that
the body tag may not exist when the script is run (ie, you need a
cross-browser way of initializing things once everything is in the DOM).
Anyway, I think stallman.org is all libreJS compliant now. Thanks
for the help!
