Google isn't a new gatekeeper, there's tons of documentation on their domain already that instructs developers to use/not use certain features for the sake of pagerank. Go look at PageSpeed for example. It would be great if we didn't have to worry about performance, I hope WebRender gets us there some day, please do continue your work and hopefully the fact that some subset of news sites aren't using features doesn't hold you back. In the meantime I'm going to avoid using with(), use requestAnimationFrame to prevent dom thrashing, put my scripts at the end of the body, and do all of the things maybe some day I won't have to do.
