Active nuggets are nuggets that are stored as external javascript files
that use the Document.write methods to put their content into the main
page. The reason for this is to allow partial update of your pages. For
example you can create an active nugget that lists stuff from google and
set up a timer to refresh only this active nugget every hour. This way
your nugget output will be upstreamed and user will see current content,
because when you use that nugget in your templates, it will just insert
a reference to that external javascript source.

With standard nuggets you can't recreate only the nugget, as the result
of the nugget is directly inserted into the rendered HTML of the pages
themselves.

I use one for the google box on <http://pyds.muensterland.org/> :-)
