I sure would like to remov the "_WidgetManager._Init" javascript blob

When I did a W3C Validation check on my last blog post I once more stumbled upon the quite large JavaScript blob that blogger.com drops at the buttom of my pages. Some time ago I looked at this with the hope that I could remove it through my template but I never succeded and just gave up. I stille hope that they either drop it all together og externalize it so it doesn't break validation and make it possible to seperate XHTML markup from JavaScript.

When I first looked at it I found an entry on the Blogger Help Group with the title "Widget Manager Code Added To HTML". In my last post it starts like:

 <script type='text/javascript'>
_WidgetManager._Init('http://www.blogger.com/rearrange?blogID=591744930960839717', 'http://blog.sweetxml.org/2009/03/my-first-wsdl-20-generating-axis2.html','591744930960839717');
.......
</script>

A ran it through the wc command that gave me the output 11 779 25931, that is:

11    newlines
779   words
25931 bytes

So that's a good 26 kilo bytes of JavaScript!.
