Control over the HEAD meta, styles, script

The <jdoc:include type="head" /> will still render the complete head. But using this:
<head>
<jdoc:include type="meta" />
<jdoc:include type="styles" />
.
.
.
you can echo the scripts at the bottom of the page
eg.:
<jdoc:include type="scripts" />
</body>
