Beyond the client side/server side issue
here, I'd take issue with the

In my mind JavaScript is not on par with binary elements and
should
not be treated the same way. This is the whole reason for
calling it
out and saying that it will be modifiable.
Uh, all we are saying is that it SHOULD NOT be assumed that the
Consumer will modify binaries, not that Consumer won't be allowed to
modify them. So, I thought that it was just about equal in that sense,
and had the same standing, however, you convinced me otherwise. By and
large I expect Consumers will do their best to modify as little as
necessary in both, although adding features such as comparisons with
the same data over time by pulling up older information from other
sources is just the kind of feature I could see as being helpful added
service.
The script that is part of a presentation
format needs to be just as
customizable as the markup itself.

I have the same concern, but I am
assuming that the first paragraph covers such languages as Perl for
CGI and Python, but while we are at it, should we consider adding an
e.g. in that first paragraph so that stipulating Javascript is
understood as standing on par with binaries as obvious? And since we
are already specifying CSS and fragments, I have a personal interest
in seeing support PHP as well ASP and JSP. This is exactly what I
meant by saying that I prefer using the MUST NOT preclude phrasing,
for now, and establishing a sample implementation and reference
implementations from which to conduct conformance testing by rev 2...
or 3.
Ciao,
