Thank you. As you know, js is very prevalent on web pages today. An
elinks compiled with spidermonkey goes a long way toward making
javascripted content accessible, so providing this would be a solid move
forward.

We're expecting the accessibility work in Mozilla to help eventually,
but that's not going to happen in time for FC4, and maybe even not in
time for FC5. So, an elinks with js support would be a solid step
forward for accessibility.
