It's great that you found all six call sites and fixed them. But the test checks only one or two of them. It would be better to make tests that cover as many of these as possible.

It might be good to have a comment in the Settings.h header file warning people away from using the isJavaScriptEnabled function to decide whether JavaScript is enabled. It's almost always wrong to use that function unless the code is simply trying to tweak settings. We don't want to make that header too confusing, but we also don't want anyone adding any new call sites like these.

r=me despite the limited test coverage

I presume XHTMLMP isn't defined in our build, so I can't really test those cases.  Is the Canvas change testable?  I wasn't sure how to see what kind of render object gets created given that I have no way to draw into it without JavaScript.  The plugin case is hard to test too because @sandbox stops you from including plugins...  I'd certainly like to add tests if you had advice for how to do it.

(In any case, the comment is a good idea.)

Looks like this might have broken Gtk somehow?

 This tests that it's possible to control an embed that is nested inside an object with a span tag in between.

Waterfall indicates this change regressed plugins/embed-inside-object.html for GTK+. Any idea why that might be?

[Gustavo Noronha (kov)]

Qt too (not surprising since the plugin code is very similar with GTK+) http://build.webkit.org/results/Qt Linux Release/r56052 (8597)/results.html

I bet the problem is the missing "!".  Will try to fix.
