I have found another wrinkle here: Atlas and Globe both require
Javascript, which some quite reasonable people choose to disable.

I guess one answer is to hope that some nice person wants to write an
Atlas / Globe version (or derivative) that doesn't rely on Javascript
so much. (Anybody want to do that? :)

Another answer is to downplay Atlas and Globe too, for other reasons
than the one you raised above. That's sort of a crummy answer.

Did I miss any?
