I was thinking this too. Forms never _needed_ Javascript to post. It's always worked this way. Am I missing something?
Also, there is the setting of HTTP headers which requires JavaScript.
It seems as if the author is on the way to rediscovering the idea of Unobtrusive JavaScript, aka the RSJS pattern (Reasonable System for JavaScript): http://ricostacruz.com/rsjs/ The main difference is that Unobtrusive JavaScript relies on HTML5 data attributes rather than misusing CSS classes. Perhaps the most well-known example of the Unobtrusive JavaScript approach are the AJAX helpers of Rails: http://guides.ruby…
"With the addition of classes I can enjoy all the custom CSS Bootstrap provides for the most part of what we need as far as styling goes . Why can’t we have same for JS ? It turns out we actually do and such libraries are known as UnObstrusive JS libs."

Form validation doesn't need to be done in Javascript. I'd argue that it shouldn't ever be done in Javascript, because that means implicitly trusting the client, which is always a bad idea.
