You should be asking "Does > anyone have any stats on the percentage of users with relevant > disabilities who surf with JavaScript turned off?" I don't know if that's necessarily the case, Joe. Accessibility, and hence the Web Accessibility Initiative, is about providing access to all. Historically, the disabled have been overlooked so a major focus of WAI is advocacy for this group, but accessibility should also include people with substandard equipment, slow Internet connections, and even people who surf with JavaScript turned off, for whatever reason. Of course I don't have to remind you that many new devices such as mobile handhelds or phones work without JavaScript, whether the user is disabled or not.
