>From the dev list, some of my thoughts around this:

I've discussed this with Marko a bit already, but for everyone: I
disagree with this angle of implementation. I don't think that users
should have to choose a preference for "display mode"; I think that we
should detect the user's current browser (using js and storing the
result in the session if necessary) and degrade everything as
gracefully as possible (using <noscript>, php-side ifs, etc.).

Oh, duh: noscript. Marko, that's an even easier way to do the check -
set an extra form var in a <noscript> tag. Though, same problem for
guest users that we already talked about.

Anyway, what do folks think about the preference vs. automatic
question? I think that users shouldn't have to set a permanent
preference and then change it if they changes browsers, I think we
should adapt to whatever browser is in use and  give them the richest
possible UI. Thoughts?
