Essentially any web page that does not need user interaction could be static. Use CSS to allow changes to page design. Include a header file (also static) to allow future changes to menus and functionality. No need for dynamic generation on the server, no need for JavaScript on the client.

Of course, I'm dreaming... What would life be like without JavaScript fingerprinting your browser? Dynamically selected, auto-playing videos that no one wants to see? Embedded advertising?
