Explain - can you gives an example? I'm not saying <NOSCRIPT> is the
*only* way to solve a problem, only that it is still valid. The
brothercake article says a non-scripting alternative, of which
<NOSCRIPT> is but one of many.

"Blanket" solutions rarely solve problems... We must examine the
circumstances and then choose a viable solution, complete with testing.

My only point is that using the <NOSCRIPT> solution is still a viable
alternative - that it should not be dismissed out-of-hand simply because
other alternatives have emerged.
