Totally different domain. We're talking about replacing JS due to JS's
problems when used heavily. Any site that uses JS that heavily in the
first place wouldn't be working on IE6 anyway. So, if you're making
such a JS-heavy site that a "NewJS" could even matter at all, then
you've *already* made the decision (explicitly or implicitly,
ill-advised or not) to not support IE6.

In other words, a site that needs to work on IE6 isn't going to
be JS-heavy enough to benefit from "NewJS". Therefore,
the whole issue of a "NewJS" isn't relevant to IE6 at all.
