Your definition of "plain HTML" and mine are a little different.

Whilst I agree that the Commonwealth Bank site runs without requiring
Java support at the browser, it does require Javascript - arguably a
more insidious threat on some browsers. Requiring Javascript at the
browser disqualifies it from "plain HTML" in my book.

Cheers,
