Will this also work for browsers with JS enabled per-page, a la the  
Firefox NoScript extension?  I use that to control which sites I  
allow JS on, and while I generally would enable it (and cookies) for  
most Mailman sites, I could definitely see others disabling it.

As for the screen reader issue, well, you gotta work with what they  
give you I guess.
