Every interface to XML in a browser that I have seen relies on JavaScript. Some browsers are pretty thin - I'm thinking of those for cell phones, PDAs, and probably WebTV (whatever it is called now). Typically, these support just about everything in HTML except <script>, <object>, and <applet>. But some applications need to work with those thin browsers. I think it would be nice to have CSPs operate with the degraded interface. Somewhat analogous to editor that degrades to roll-and-scroll and 'replace _ with _' when used from a device with no screen control or even no screen, I would like CSPs that (could) resort to form submission when hyperevents aren't available.
