What's the advantage of "a,b,c".split(",") over ["a","b","c"]?
<p>I've seen this in a couple of places, most notably the <code>plugins.js</code> file of <a href="http://html5boilerplate.com/" rel="nofollow">HTML5 Boilerplate</a>, and I'm not sure why.</p>

<p>What's the motivation behind using something like</p>

<pre><code>var d = "header,nav,footer".split(",");
</code></pre>

<p>instead of</p>

<pre><code>var d = ["header", "nav", "footer"];
</code></pre>

<p>?</p>
