Thank you Jonathan.
WCAG 2.0 (if you choose to interpret it that way) is saying that users have a choice, they can either upgrade their web browsers and/or assistive technologies to more current ones that are compliant with various technologies such as JavaScript or choose to continue using tools that do not have the latest and greatest or disable these technologies. The problem with this approach is the assumption that everyone can purchase, download and even install current tools.
It seems to that this creates barriers to accessing the information for some users, which is counter to what WCAG 2.0 is trying to accomplish, removing barriers.
Todd.
