Please forgive me for replying to myself, but I wanted to clarify: Not 
every site/application requires maximum usability. For example, if 
you're an artist and you want a site that provides a media-rich, 
immersive experience for visitors, then it makes sense to compromise 
usability and incorporate JavaScript, Flash, QuickTime, etc.
