This is not a reason to display an empty page to the unsuspecting user.

I think javascript is a different responsibility from stylesheets, since 
the publisher must cater to browsers that do not play javascript, and 
HTML contains specific provisions for that case.  Or do you consider it 
to be the publisher’s fault to give me text/xml?  But how do you decide 
whether to serve XML or HTML, if the latter possibility exists on 
server?  Whitelisting?  Blacklisting?  Accept header?  But does Lynx 
communicate that it does not accept text/xml?
