Now that we know the Dart VM will not get into the browser, isn't the dependency on packages/browser/dart.js obsolete?

Since there will not be any browsers capable of dealing with a .dart file, couldn't we replace the following:

<script type="application/dart" src="main.dart"></script>
<script data-pub-inline src="packages/browser/dart.js"></script>

with just

<script src="main.dart.js"></script>

Yes, I know there is still Dartium. But it would make much more sense to let Dartium rewrite the main.dart.js into main.dart for development instead of letting every browser do the opposite in production.

Or ist this something the dart2js should be responsible for? While translating main.dart to main.dart.js, the dart2js compiler could also replace the script tag in the HTML file.

What version of the product are you using?
Dart v1.9.1
