Do you understand what I am saying about the function, the
working importance of the list, the use that the user will make
of it, the difference between trafficable navigation links and
"set once only" type of links. Do you at all pause to think
there may be something relevant in this to the way it should
look, the amount of space it should take up and the place it
should be? That's it, you just "like it"?

I do not like JavaScript because it makes users more vulnerable
as far as I
understand.
Doubt if anyone who already had it turned on (most everyone)
would be more vulnerable because *you* include a snippet or two?
Why not leave that decision to them? You can do what I said and
have an alternative link to a page for choosing the language for
those very few without it enabled. Actually, I am not
particularly recommending JS anyway. Just a thought. Your
objection sounds unconvincing to me and, under the spell, I
reply to it.
