Anyone should still be able to use the Web modulo Javascript.

Javascript is simply a popular programming language, supported by
browsers. It isn't core Web Technology, as far as I understand what
constitutes core Web Technology:

1. URIs
2. HTTP
3. HTML -- this doesn't make Javascript core Web technology (IMHO).
