We want to tear down the walls between YUI and the rest of the JS ecosystem and this means figuring out ways to export to other module formats and to import other module formats.

We can import from NPM and/or Bower. Does Bower make more sense to you? Originally I wanted to use Bower, but in this case it added the extra problem of either convincing the `asap` guys to publish to Bower or to maintain a fork and publish it ourselves.
