Well, i tried to add script,
but its simply don't rendered by updater, and i didn't find a way how.
Of course i can put just:  html tag:'script' -- but this is even
uglier than example above.
I tried to add html script: ...  to the end of updated part of page.
But then i see that
a #script: doing not exactly what i wanted. Instead of placing it in
HTML code at place where i said, it adds this script to the collection
which then will appear in HEAD tag.
