But this wouldn't change. I managed to express myself very badly.

In practice, what I propose is this:

This is "other_js.html" (a copy of your current "other.html")
http://people.apache.org/~pescetti/tmp/2013-09-otherhtml/other_js.html

This is the new "other.html"
http://people.apache.org/~pescetti/tmp/2013-09-otherhtml/other.html

See the difference? No? Good. "other.html" is obtained by opening in Firebug other_js.html and copy/pasting the table from there (from the document's DOM, not the HTML source that would have the write_table() function there). A few seconds' work.

other_js.html is an internal convenience page, never shown to users or linked: it is a "generator".

So the workflow is unchanged, with the addition of a step that takes a few seconds: load "other_js.html" in Firefox and with Firebug copy the table to "other.html". (you can use dozens of tools and techniques, I just picked one; if you want to script it you can use phantomjs or whatever, but everything is overkill for this).

Then other.html will work for everybody and we can avoid dealing with broken browsers so long as they render HTML tables properly.

I didn't clean up the <noscript> and other parts of other.html that would then be removed, but would be a simple one-time edit.

All concerns about Google visibility are addressed too: actually, the new other.html would be more visibile to search engines that in general have difficulties in parsing JavaScript.
