Tim who?
Additionally, requirements that java script still work from the keyboard
remain a part of w3c rules.There are editions of Lynx that can submit
from script links. I realize that can differ from Java scripting but
still.
One w3c resource I like is webaim.org
who details all the issues with Javascript especially void zero links.
Seriously though I wonder how many sites are simply a product of someone
taking a tool adding stuff and stirring?
In that case better web creation tools would help as well.

What's really unfortunate about all of this is that javascript can do useful

not have attracted the well earned controversy and lightning it has
attracted. The producers of websites are responsible for misusing
javascript. I don't know what Tim Burnersley's position on html5 is but it's
been around for long enough for him to have developed one.

Unfortunately The World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content
Accessibility Group, now considers reliance on ECMAScript as acceptable,
and has done so, for probably half a decade. In my view that is because
it is made up of accessibility consultants and graphical browser
developers.
Also note that HTML5 is the product of a coup, by an industry consortium
and is not controlled by W3C. W3C wanted a semantically strong language,
document mark-up language. WHATWG wanted a language for running graphical
applications on browsers, that was defined in such a way that even garbage
produced consistent graphical results across browsers.
I don't think that Lynx is anywhere close to HTML5 compliance, because it
doesn't parse it in a way that would allow it to use the mandated error
recovery.
