True, but it's not "the most ordinary way" anymore. I'd say that
bookmarking is equivalent to inserting the inhibit-startup-message
magic in one's .emacs.

But he only can if he has it. Does this mean that the proprietor of
the website must offer the server-side parts of the software for
download, too? (Because the client-side scripts in the page that is

serverside, such that the page served is not the preferred form for
making modifications to the scripts).
