   And the sadness is, Google Maps used to work fine without #Javascript.

   I think most web developers (especially Google) have the smarts to build pages that build gracefully depending on browser capability: Showing content first, then style, and finally adding behaviour with Javascript. Content and style is the easy part, make sure it's there first.

   So why don't they? Do the client specs require #Javascrippled content so they'll get surveillance?
