>> This would lose all the semantic value that having a <noscript> element provide > ><noscript/> provides semantic value? Oh, I get it! It's a joke! Very funny. ><noscript/> is all about processing and presentation, and none about semantics. Just because the <noscript> element is not displayed for UAs that support the scripting languge used, and is for UAs that don't, does not make it a presentational element. A noscript element tells the UA that this section is specifically for use only when scripting is not supported or disabled. Defining class or id attributes and setting the style to 'display:none;' does not inform the UA that the section is only for UAs that don't, or can't, use scripts, even though it may have the same presentational effect.
