According to http://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html#Documentation
" The format for documentation should be HTML, and should not require an advanced browser or server-side extensions. Style sheets are acceptable. ECMAScript/JavaScript is not acceptable."

Not sure quite why such a explicit refusal of javascript but I imagine there were (at least) good reasons for this so may be worth some discussion to see if the reasons are still extant before doing any work.
