The dynamic menus could be duplicating functionality provided elsewhere on
the document, the needs of the visual user being better addressed in a
dynamic fashion, with the redundant links being available elsewhere.  I
don't think it's optimal, as I suggested above, but I don't think it would
disqualify a page unless that's the only way links to the locations were
provided.

Of course there is also this thing called <NOSCRIPT> but I would strongly
advise that never to be used.  (since it ignores the very common scenario of
script available but incapable of executing the script provided)

Jim.
