Indeed Jared, I'm experiencing the problem when using Javascript to display
Flash content, particularly fullscreen Flash content which requires
javascript to properly control the browser scroll behaviour. As such, I'm
inclined to keep to my solution of using the noscript tag, but only so long
as the Flash content itself is accessible by other means.

I hadn't considered that placing non-flash content inside the noscript tag
would actually prevent javascript-disabled users from accessing it's
content, however ... so there is now the question of whether non-visual
users should be prevented from accessing the content to appease visual
users.

Hmmm, that is annoying, as the flash replacement techniques I use are
industry standard ... perhaps there is a minor server performance trick I am
missing. Anyways, I am going to take more conscious care when using the
noscript tag from here on.

Thanks Jared.
