In my understanding, the following two sentences of the FSDG
pretty much cover the JS issue:

> A free system distribution must not steer users towards obtaining any nonfree information for practical use, or encourage them to do so.

> Programs in the system should not suggest installing nonfree plugins, documentation, and so on.


So for example, a program has a link in the UI that suggests
going to some website with nonfree JS. When the user opens that
link, this nonfree software will by default be obtained,
installed in the web browser (doesn't matter if temporarily),
and automatically executed.

I guess even the markup, stylesheets, SVG (given the feature
set) can count as “Information for practical use” in terms of
FSDG.
