its the <noscript>[1] element, the content of which is displayed if scripting
is disabled/absent

http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/scripting-1.html#the-noscript-element

my thinking on it is that the noscript element has no semantics that need to be
exposed to the user. It is not represented in the acc tree when JS enabled (nor
is its content. When javascript is disabled its content is displayed on screen
and in acc tree, but the <noscript> element itself is not (tested in
FIREFOX/IE/Chrome) 

Requiring aria-hidden=true when scripting is enabled would require some
browsers to do something different than they are doing now and is unnecessary.
