These are still obscuraters (although it is
arguable that Closure is not even that), so
the FAQ answer is not wrong just out of
date.  The FAQ needs to make a more general
statement, and not imply that Microsoft
Script Encoder is the only option.

Also note that according to:
http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2012/10/16/state-of-yui-compressor/

the Yui Compressor has been deprecated.
