Are they assuming that rather than having urchin code in the body,
you'd add the urchinTracker call in the head as part of an onload
unobtrusive js call? i.e. that you might decide to load it and call it
like say jquery rather than embedding it into a page?

I didn't do it that way, just had a php call to a assign the page
number in smarty. AFAIK you should only call urchinTracker once on a
page.
