First question is whether there's a more appropriate mailing list for
an application rather than development oriented request such as this.
I didn't find one but then I  was looking in the xalan source
documentation so might have missed something obvious.  Feell free to
refer me to a better list then ignore the message.

The problem:
Making pages with javascript play nicely with browsers which don't
understand it, such as emacs-w3, lynx etc.
The reason:  A range of special needs users  (including me) use these browsers.  It
seems that most of the javascript functionality (rather than
window-dressing) can be implemented other ways.  My question is
whether the transformations offered by the combination of xalan and
rhino  will allow this.  The idea is that the browser will deal only
with html derived by transformation of the original pages containing
javascript.  Checking of input fields etc would be performed by
executing the relevant pieces of javascript and presenting the browser
with the generated html again.  Of course not all things could be done
this way but most of the unimplementable stuff seems completely visual
and hence not very useful, at least to the blind users I'm thinking
about.  
So my specific question is  whether this looks like a good platform to
attack this problem.  If so, then I might ask some more specific
questions when I can find a better forum to do so.
Apologies for the generalist interruption to the coding discussions
