Have Facebook fixed the problem where people can't log in to your site using Facebook Connect if they don't have JavaScript enabled? I find that enormously frustrating - no other feature on my sites require JavaScript (though I use lots of JavaScript for usability enhancements), so adding it as a requirement for logging in really annoys me.

Yes, we now are based on OAuth 2.0. See http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/. You can just do a redirect to log someone into your site.

That's fantastic news, thanks!

Yes. If you do the whole redirect process yourself through http headers then it's possible to do facebook connect with no js.
