Yes, there are risks in everything, even just handling data as I
mentioned. As for whether the risks are worth the rewards with
scripting, it's debatable, but calling a web without scripting "useless"
is incorrect; at the moment you're using a purely data driven website. HN is certainly not useless by modern standards.

(FYI, HN has an onclick='return vote(this)' on votes, so it does use javascript too - although, very little, and it's optional)
