I would guess a popular use would be to grab HTML fragments and insert  
them into the current document, in which case it would be desirable to  
parse as if <noscript> was not disabled. I'm also not sure that  
scripting needs to be disabled, at least in the non-cross-domain case.  
I could imagine interesting uses for either.
