If at least one institution requires approval, users with js disabled would *always* see the optional reason box.

To make things clearer we could add "(Approval required)" after the appropriate institutions' names inside the drop-down, and add a note to the help file explaining what that means.

But I guess the worst that can happen is that people fill in the reason field when they don't need to.

BrowserID basically bypasses registration. So if an institution has the BrowserID plugin enabled *and* auto-create users turned on, anyone with an email address can create an account without filling in the registration form.

Francois added a note to the 'registration allowed' help file in institution settings to hopefully make that more obvious to institution admins, so you should have a look at it.
