After more serious consideration, several attempts at implementing the GrayJ concept, and many months of thought, I've decided to abandon this project and concept until a more suitable time.

With the current mix of non-standards-adherent web-browsers, some of which differ in their ECMAScript implementations, a library such as GrayJ that discourages downgradability would lead to serious accessibility issues as well as a lack of support for less advanced and mobile devices. Additionally, render speeds for recommended DOM scripting methods are famously disappointing.

I was aware of all these and several other issues when I submitted this project to SourceForge.net, but did not fully appreciate the implications of relying solely on ECMAScript to render an interface until using such a system in an enterprise web application. The result was disappointing and a number of issues are leading me to recommend we rebuild the interface using XHTML for downgradability.
