Three comments :

1. using colloquial english like "to muck up" makes your point
difficult to understand w/o a dictionnary for non-english locutors. I
had to use a dictionnary.

2. BECSS do not add scripting facilities to CSS itself so I don't see
why the actual draft makes the enabling/disabling of CSS and JS
independently difficult.

3. the BECSS draft describes a new at-rule which can be used to
declare the language used by BECSS values. It is then extremely easy
to throw away all the becss properties using a disabled language or
technology.
