It would also be simple to add an 'alternate stylesheet' that can hide
the left hand navigation. A small link could be added to switch styles
(which would include javascript) but all good browsers allow you to
choose which stylesheet you wish to use without the aid of javascript
(which I beleive should only be used for 'optional enhancements' to a
website).

The layout also positions the main navigation at the bottom of the html
source so the first items you see using a 'text browser' are the
breadcrumb and document level navigation.
