>Users need interactive stuff.

so you argued that the need for internationalization and Accessibility was such that if you tried to add that in to bare html - css solution that you would end up getting bloated, I argued (based on my experience) that accessibility bloat actually comes from the need to support various JavaScript bits of accessibility.

To which you then argue that the JavaScript parts are needed.

If so it is the JavaSript that adds the bloat, because the accessibility bloats to support the JavaSript.

I mean I'm not against JavaSript but I have seen many sites that didn't need it; and I've been forced by work requirements to add in too much of it on sites that needed very little or even none at all.
