How many links are you gonna convert that way? What is the use of having so many functions if we can't automate the tasks.

plus, the crawlers won't care about the javascript, so it'll still count as a link out of your site, which isn't good SEO.

Why would one want to record where a SE bot left for? They would anyways follow all links.

And additionally, with the increasing popularity of no-script for firefox, anybody with javascript disabled won't be counted.

Yes, this may be a barrier.
But javascript is used so much on the web nowadays that surfing with javascript cripples the usability of many websites. So even if most know that javascript could be used maliciously, they still have no option other than to let it function.
And even if the link is not recorded due to javascript being disabled, what great harm is it gonna cause?
