Comment(by jane):

 We need to make every screen accessible when there is no JS not just for
 the blind, but for people with JS turned off. Last weekend at WordCamp
 Ireland I had to help someone with her widgets, and she and the two guys
 she was with all had no JS. It was painful, but it worked. Menus need the
 same ability, not a separate UI altogether. (That said, a super-accessible
 admin theme optimized for people with disabilities is in the works, but it
 doesn't affect the need for a no-JS version of everything to be built in.
