Comment:

 Replying to [comment:9 rudolflai]:
 > It seems that without Javascript the Wordpress backend ceases to
 function in many ways. For example, the insert posts page relies heavily
 on Javascript, for example the TinyMCE editor, all the things that require
 a modal JS popup.

 TinyMCE is a convenience script, not essential for editing a post. TinyMCE
 (The "visual editor") can't do anything that the html editor can't do,
 which sufficiently satisfies the "equivalence" part of the accessibility
 discussion.
