I don't quite get this.

As I understand it, 'declare before use' stipulates that a variable must 
be declared by 'var variable'.  You're saying that 'var variable's are 
private to the script that decalres them.  So all variables are... 
private?  Either there's some flawed logic going on, or public variables 
no longer exist.

Perhaps the introduction of 'pub' in addition to 'var'?  Or, possibly 
better, have a 'private' keyword - 'var private x' or 'private var x'.

I don't know, I'm not sure how ECMA handles it, or whether I've 
completely misunderstood what you meant.
