Yep, as far as I know that's an accurate interpretation. Section 508
isn't a full moratorium on JavaScript -- it just means that you have to
be careful to ensure that the JavaScript solutions are backed by working
alternatives for people who can't use JS. So for that matter, the JS
interface can even be the primary means, as long as it's not the only
means.
I've got a contact manager app that I'd been working on where a number
of the links launch AJAX partial-page interfaces and this is fine
because the link itself is just a normal link with an HREF to a working
page where the person can perform the task, and all the JavaScript is
done in the onclick. This way it's basically transparent to both the JS
enabled average user as well as the screan-reader user.

Yeah, it just populates a text field, so it should be fine. There's a
wierd issue in the Spry date hints that collides with it (and apparently
some other widgets as well). But as long as you're not using Spry that
shouldn't be an issue.
Good luck on the project. :)
