That is exactly what I think.

It's like having core providing both alternatives, but never enforcing
javascript. While I agree some ajax support needs to be in core, I don't
like having it as a mandatory default. So, what I mean, I.e. , is:

theme('ajax_table'... ) with ajax stuff

and

theme('table',....) free of javascript, just old plain good HTML, well
tested stuff :-)

Then, individual themes can use whatever they like. I actually don't
mind which is the default theme - maybe full enabled AJAX could be
better to impress new users :-), as long as I can have one in plain HTML
