YUI has been doing the same thing (hosting their JS professionally), and it does really make sense. We've been doing this for years at fluther.com and it's worked out great. We have a switch for using a local copy when we're offline (on an airplane), but in general it adds speed and saves bandwidth. This was always a nice benefit of YUI, and I'm glad to see there's an option with JQuery, too. (I'm planning to switch at some point--we went with YUI in the first place because it had the only stable autocomplete plugin but that's long since changed.)
