True device independence requires a site be navigable without javascript. I certainly am not saying it's easy going for ancient browsers now. I am instead predicting that the new best practice standards for web design will bring forth a more ancient browser-friendly WWW, moving forward. At least it won't get any worse. I noticed many commercial web sites have adopted the new standards including javascript - free navigation. I can say as a web development professional that's all anyone talks about. Google favors sites who adopt the new standards in their rankings. It will be interesting to see were we stand in 5 years. I predict it will be easier to use an ancient browser then, than today.
