The "basic HTML" version of GMail still exists, it barely uses Javascript[1]. That counts as a webapp, right? That's how email "apps" worked on the internet for a decade before the one-page-app became feasible and popular. It looks like crap by current standards, but it works just fine. I wouldn't call its scriptlessness an "abuse" by any means- that's just how it used to be done. [1] there's a little bit that handles time zones, I think, but that's it... oh, and autocomplete and some alerts to catch you navigating away from an unsaved draft, that sort of thing.
