For what it is worth, I agree completely. DHTML needs support, so that AJAX calls and dynamic updates will work. For example, calling the js innerText or innerHTML attributes of page elements, then changing those attributes, should render the change on the page instead of being ignored. This, coupled with AJAX support, would be a huge help. Also, onFocus, onBlur, and onChange js event handlers need support. There are handlers for key presses and mouse movements (onKeyPress, on DblClick, and so on) which would be difficult to implement because of how braille is typed, or would not be useful, but the more event handlers the better.
If ce can do flash, then we need it. We will also need html5 support in the near future, though I am not sure of ce's status on this standard. HW could be waiting on Microsoft for it.
