One thing worth noting is that, as far as I know, text-mode browsers are
far less maintained than mainstream browser. IN particular, I am very
much in doubt about how much of HTML5 they support. So, even if they are
in theory beter suited for visually impaired people (and themselves
would not agree on that) in practice we need a realistic and sustainable
solution and it looks more realistic and sustainable to make sure
accessibility works well in a GUI-based browser. I don't think
Javascript is necessary evil. You can do accessible Javascript-based
websites and you can do very poorly accessible HTML websites.
