I think the discussion about “no JavaScript” in the Data Tracker got side-tracked by bringing up IE6. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hildebrand-html-rfc/ identifies requirements for Internet Drafts and RFCs, for general access and long-term preservation. It notes: Any use of JavaScript in the HTML document will not negatively impact the ability to read the document. Some consumers of the RFC series routinely disable JavaScript for security purposes. If that guideline had been followedd It notes other requirements such as accessibility, ability to regenerate from available data, platforms to test, charsets and more. Other HTML documents and interfaces in IETF’s web site should have similar guidelines (including “don’t disable old URLs like ftp://ftp.ietf.org…”;). Perhaps draft-hildebrand-html-rfc would be a good starting point? Larry — http://larry.masinter.net
