English Stripping and JavaScript

I've seen this come up a couple times in comments on Bugzilla, so I figured I'd ask here.

On a few pages that I know of, there's user-facing text that gets printed by included JavaScript files rather than in the BML files, so (unless I'm mistaken) they can't be English-stripped. Is the general procedure here to leave the copy un-stripped, but update it to be DW-consistent?

For example, manage/tags.bml uses "friends" under "counts and security" which should obviously be updated to "trusted". This would be easy to do just to manually change it, but is there perhaps a way to English strip these kinds of things?

Speaking just for myself, I would rather do it properly (ie, strip the javascript too, using sophie's method, which is IIRC the same way it's done in a few other places). rho and ivorygates, you want to pipe up on that?
