Oh god, this is exactly the direction of discussion that makes me oppose 
running major changes by the developers list.

Dave, here are the three extant alternatives.  All of them are good 
enough (TM).  Pick one and let's move on, please, or tell me I can check 
one JS file into the top-level directory until the argument is over, 
after which I'll move it to the appropriate directory (moving files 
being so much easier than moving directories).

css/ and js/ - short, obvious, and css/ already exists; less flexible 
than the other alternatives because it specifies the type of files it 
will contain (although all examples of the problem this causes are 
hypothetical).

style/ and logic/ - logically consistent, but leaves css/ empty, and 
people think "logic" is bad because marketingesque.

style/ and scripts/ - the popular choice, but leaves css/ empty and 
logically inconsistent.

Technical note: not really.  There's no such thing as "cvs remove 
directory", there's only "manually delete directory from CVS repository, 
causing chaos in local working copies".  We don't want to go there.
