Why not?  Which of these statements do you disagree with, and why?

1) MusicBrainz should be usable with JavaScript turned off.
2) If enough instruments are added, the instrument list will no longer be 
usable without JavaScript.

OK, moving to devel.

I guess some people reading this, who have spent a lot of time developing 
sophisticated JavaScript-based solutions for MB, might be pretty offended by 
my "all JavaScript is evil" stance.  I don't want to offend anyone, and I 
think that there's plenty of scope for JS in MB.  But I do believe that it's 
very tempting to put too much reliance on JavaScript, especially in the 
current "AJAX is the future" bubble.  It's occasionally necessary to point 
this out.
