Any decent text editor will have no trouble with it... So at least mention
which editor you use, and probably ask in a group/forum related to that
editor, as people are more likely to know the ins and outs of that
particular tool.

No. If someone has decided to disable JS, or is using a client which doesn't
support it, then constant reminders about it are going to be irritating.

No, I wouldn't write anything that foolish. At the minimum, I would tell
what the user gets, in terms of added functionality.
As you well know, my scripting is pathetic, so I use it only for
little flourishes that marginally improve the page's usability, so
such a statement is almost always true on my pages.
And virtually useless then. In human communication, useless easily turns
into harmful, since it distracts from the useful.
Incidentally, I work in a closed environment where scripting is on by
definition, and only off by the deviants.
Factually, this group is about WWW authoring, which is by definition not
a closed environment.
I recently saw someone suggesting to add some script that determined
if JavaScript was disabled. I'm still trying to figure this one out.
The world would be a much duller place without clueless people, wouldn't
it?

You have good eyes, but my post to the js group is intended to start a
discussion, not to answer the base question. As I said in my query there, I
believe your statement to be false, i.e., js cannot be used to infect a
user's machine without the user's express permission.
I checked the stopbadware group. They're not talking about js being used to
infect a user's machine. They're talking about js being injected into
existing sites (hacking). They talk about badware on a user's machine, but
that badware has to be downloaded and executed, e.g., an attachment, exe
file, or packaged clandestinely with another application.
AFAIK, your statement is an artifact from years past when it was incorrectly
propagated that js was a security risk. It isn't (afaik).

Before quoting any law it is wide to check what kind of law is that
and to what domain does it apply. I already explained in this NG the
508 hoax several times, but maybe it is time to do once again:
"Section 508 requires that Federal agencies' electronic and
information technology is accessible to people with disabilities. IT
Accessibility & Workforce Division, in the U.S. General Services
Administration's Office of Governmentwide Policy, has been charged
with the task of educating Federal employees and building the
infrastructure necessary to support Section 508 implementation. Using
this web site, Federal employees and the public can access resources
for understanding and implementing the requirements of Section 508."

Can you see any difference between a federal US facility and a dotcom
site? I guess not.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code."

Compromised integrity due to vulnerabilities, i.e., security holes, in
browsers are not the fault of javascript.

Compare this to lying on a road in the middle of the night wearing
dark clothing. You might get hit by a car or two, but that means that
cars are dangerous, not the road. Nevertheless, sensible people rarely
lie down on roads.
If you have to disable your browser's Javascript interpreter because
it has security bugs (and the record suggests that the interpreters in
all major browsers are likely to contain significant undiscovered
bugs) that a malicious site might use to take over your computer, then
the fact that the Javascript itself is perfectly safe is irrelevant.
