I agree. I chose to follow style.

At first glance indeed. But I think it might be fine, because the
purpose of this function is only to use javascript in order to
indicate to the server that the client supports javascript. This is
somewhat an odd case, the link rewriting is pretty much needed only
for this one value so it doesn't really have to scale. But I have
nothing against say removing (#.*)?$ and thus only matching
[?;]js=[01] in link.href.

Thanks, I figured if it was OK before then at least it would be
better now.
