Strangely enough, I'm willing to ignore ~10% of the population when it comes to using css and other standards that older browsers don't support, but I don't like to ignore the non-JavaScript users unless the purpose is a web app. Also thinking about this more, I believe that roughly 10-20% of script disabled traffic is from robots. -Dylan
