Hmm, or just use NOSCRIPT.  I'd say NOSCRIPT was more semantically appropriate
personally.  I see no issue using NOSCRIPT unless the author is thinking of
duplicating functionality within it, *then* use progressive enhancement
instead.  But that is an issue I have with maintainability, design and best
practice, not against the NOSCRIPT element.
