What about developing a mobile site? :-) Enable JS all you want but if functionality is

enabling JS then screw people who are not on broadband. Many people
today are not on broadband because of cost or lack of availability.
If the TDE team wants to target people using older hardware as good
candidates for TDE, then consider the overall environment of these
people.
JS might be client-side, but the scripts still must be downloaded to
function. People on older hardware do not have the CPU or graphics
muscle in their machines to tolerate JS. I have older machines here
that I use in my testing. Those machines can't deal with all the Web
2.0 bullsh-t.
JS is not a big download, it is just C-like interpreted code. Also,
I don't agree at all with the "Web 2.0 bullsh*t" denomination you put
on Javascript: actually I learnt it with a computer without Internet
access and W98/IE4, well before the real Web 2.0 bullsh*t. The bullsh*t
is rather big commercial sites with large ads, fancy graphic effects and
large images all the way, that always gonna give c*** should they be
made in JS, Flash or any another technology.
That has always been a problem with computers. Devs use bleeding edge
hardware and never test their apps or web sites with older hardware.
Most of them have high broadband connections and never test with
anything else.
I think that the popularity of "smart"-phones will
entice/is enticing
Web developers to make semi-reasonable sites (but which are still
likely to knee down a K6-II).
Speaking of which, web devs need to test their pages on smaller
monitors. Most web pages these days are designed on monitors bigger
than most TVS and when the web page is viewed on a smaller monitor
the text is too small to read by anybody with vision issues.
Like for the above
point, "smart"-phones have lower resolutions and
smaller monitors.
