A Handful of Code
In my last post about page controllers, Jason Holden asked on which pages I use page controllers. This is a great question and speaks to a larger issue of code organization that applies to CSS and JavaScript as well.

I think most of the things that you could put in a view but might go in a page controller rightly belong in the controller rather than the view (as JavaScript belongs in a .js file and CSS belongs in a .css file).
I don't think I would exactly call that an encapsulation issue though, perhaps more of an issue of separation of concerns.
The only reason I mentioned encapsulation is that I don't think the "Handful of code" rule should be used to justify breaking encapsulation. For example, I don't think it should be used to justify using shared-scope variables in a model component.
