As much as I agree with people that we need to friendlify the
CCK/Views/Workflow interfaces to make them grep-able (and to fit on the
screen) I think I agree with you here.

The first step is to build a plain but functional XHTML/CSS interface
and then add javascript on top. Sure we should wireframe the ideal
interface first, but if we aim for javascript first, rather then the
XHTML/CSS 'middle stage' then I think that will lead to poor
accessibility.

Among the obvious problems with locking users out of the site it could
mean that organizations with US federal government funding could not use
Drupal!

Just my 2c.
