[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?
