Allow to get jQuery from a Google CDN cold be a good idea : http://code.google.com/intl/fr/apis/lib … tml#jquery

Might be worth considering handling this in a way similar to wordpress (wp_enqueue_script()).

Hmm... isn't that a very theme-specific thing?
What I mean is that the easiest thing would probably be to let themes simply include jQuery (e.g. from Google's CDN) if they need it.

I guess the issue is when an extension wants to use jQuery - should they rely on the theme having it available or load it themselves? Either way if they get it wrong it wont work - hence WordPress provide a method to load it only if it isn't already loaded.
This probably shouldn't be specific to jQuery - rather a function to loading any javascript-script, but only if it isn't already. See: wp_enqueue_script.

Not necessarily, though we could if we wanted. For example we might have a load_script($alias, $path) function in the core that would require the path given - in which case it would be loaded from the path given by whatever called it first (theme/extension/whatever).
Alternatively we could include jquery in the core or even just the path to it on a CDN, and simply have a load_script($alias [, $path]) function, where the $path is optional, and an error is thrown if none is given and it isn't a known library.
