That's just ridiculous, if any application has a requirement to degrade nicely, then just saying "this application uses javascript so doesn't have to" isn't something I can agree with I'm afraid. web applications provide functionality the implementation details are irrelevant to the importance of degradability. I think this sort of attitude highlights why the WHAT-WG isn't particularly correct when it says degradibility is an absolute requirement, if people are happy to say "bog off browser not supported" then we might aswell go straight to good solutions and not harp on trying to tweak to text/html until it's even more of a mess.
