"We all want to build robust and engaging web experiences. We scrutinize every detail of an interaction. We spend hours getting the animation swing just right. We refactor our JavaScript to shave tiny fractions of a second off load times." "Two hundred of his employer's sites were instantly reduced to plain old semantic HTML. No CSS. No images. No JavaScript." I am an end user. I read the text of the webpage. I believe I recieved the full import of the author's message. To read the webpage, I only utilised "plain old semantic HTML. No CSS. No images. No JavaScript." Questions: 1. Is the page (in the way I the end user consumed it) "robust"? 2. Did I the end user have an "engaging" experience? 3. Who other than I the end user is able to answer questions 1 and 2? How? 4. Do all webpages need to be vectors for the delivery and automatic execution of (e.g. JavaScript) programs in order to be useful to end-users? Answers: (speaking only for myself) 1. Yes 2. Yes, enough for me to comment 3. Not sure; seems like a subjective determination only the end user can make 4. No. For example, I read the webpage that is the subject of this comment without using graphical fonts, CSS, images or JavaScript. I focused on the author's words alone. I do not believe I missed anything in the author's communication.
