Definitely, please make this happen, with the change that it should be per page not per session I think. For example, I may look at a huge pdf, and then browse to a URL within afore mentioned pdf from the same session. If js is auto-disabled by the pdf for that session then it would stay disabled for the web page which is probably not what I want, whereas if the check is done per page then it'd re-enable itself when I change page.
