Well, if my browser supports JavaScript,
and I leave it enabled, it will honour
<script> elements and pass over <noscript>;
if I turn off JavaScript, it will skip
the <script> elements and honour <noscript>.

Why might it do something different if
I turn off audio and/or video, w.r.t.
<audio> and/or <video> elements ?
