Yes it should. At one point I did try to make it degrade gracefully, but it 
interacted badly with KSS (i.e. the inline editing feature broke) so I had 
to roll back that change. I never did manage to come up with a way to 
handle non-javascript users that would also work for users who 
had javascript and inline editing enabled
