I'd like to know what the reasoning is. Javascript is pretty much required for
having a half-decent user interface; HTML forms, just by themselves, pretty
much suck. Wanting things to work for lynx is a different matter, except that
it's hard for me to see people _really_ wanting to use webmail from a command
line.
Anywhere that we can be made non-reliant on javascript, great, but I'm really
inclined to use it in the interests of nicer UIs.
