My collegue Ed Eliot wrote something nice about that <a href="http://www.ejeliot.com/blog/72" rel="nofollow">in this article</a>. I plan to create another WP plugin that combines what Ed describes with what I did to my CSS. The plugin will grab all JS tags, chain them and insert them at the bottom, compressed and cached. Should not be too hard to do I think. It should automate most of the things you described :) It's harder with JS though and it will probably lead to more problems than CSS because not all Javascript is well written. I guess if you (or a plugin author) write crap code you'll get crap results with it. The JS can be compressed on the fly as well with JSLint.
