Another thing is Flash. Almost *everyone* uses JS to embed flash. But *it's 
not needed*! I embed Flash with pure HTML and it works perfectly fine. Don't 
even need any server-side code! (You probably need JS to tell the user when 
they don't have Flash or, in some cases, when they don't have a new enough 
version, and suggest a download link. But including those features with JS 
still does *nothing* to prevent you from making the applet run without JS. 
And...It's not even a fallback! It's just embedding with method A instead of 
method B. And method A is, frankly, dead-simple.)
