This *is* true, but...

the point is that the server trip is happening anyway.

If I could avoid the trip to the serve altogether, I'd be much  
happier to see Javascript implemented.

There is an argument about server resources to be made of course, but  
this is kind of a red herring - really, the additional resources  
required are minimal and all you're doing is downloading the need to  
your users if you don't have them.
