Not in my experience of the conversation - they'd love to have more 
markup they can deploy without having to spend their own time on 
building and understanding the insides of the implementation.

If designers can grab, say, picture, plug it in, and use it with their 
usual toolset, they'd be happier than they are now pining away for 
features that don't rise to the expectations of the W3C or browser vendors.

It may take a while to reverse the "thou shalt only deploy HTML as 
blessed by the W3C" culture, but I don't think non-JavaScript developers 
are going to be spending a lot of time wishing they were programmers.

Thanks,
