[Owncloud] Question: register app script in guest view

Hi all,
as far as I can see there is currently no way for an activated app to register
a script to be included in a page rendered using the 'guest' template view.
Currently those are login and public pages.
Although it is easy to understand why that is I still ask myself if this
limitation really is a good idea. In my eyes it limits possible apps. For
example I have a concrete problem with the imprint app to displaying a link on
the login page, simply because registering a script for that page currently is
a question of being *lucky* (really).
ownCloud supports app categories. It is even possible to limit the list of
apps loaded at runtime to a certain category: file system. Why not generalize
that feature, introduce a well defined list of categories. One entry in the
list might be 'guest' again: apps loaded for guest access, which currently
simply is not possible. Why not?
Any objections? Any opinions?
