Really, though, the whole problem is that script is a hack on HTML as tag soup, rather than HTML as SGML. (Generally people are using HTML when what their usage needs is a dynamic page description language.++) It seems to me that conditional sections might better reflect the the intended use of noscript, but I suspect that doing this, especially in a way that was extensible, might not be possible even in SGML. Could any SGML expert comment on this? All this is somewhat academic now, I suspect. ++ Ignoring accessibility, as do most authors.
