Amen. For a good example of a power-user preference setting for controlling this (and other) JS code, see the way iCab has implemented it's "InScript" filters. If you are not interested in downloading and installing iCab just to view this preference dialog, I have a screenshot of the screen (from an older version of iCab) online at: http://phrogz.net/tmp/icabfilter.gif I far prefer IE as a general all-around browser, but there are some specific VERY POWERFUL features that iCab allows which I lust after. (Filtering graphics based on domain and dimensions? Yum!) I understand that these sorts of preferences would probably be lost on the average user, but IMO that's an argument for burying them under some Advanced prefs, not an argument for not spending development time on them.
