The reason to check on the server isn't because scripting might be
disabled, but because your server can't possibly know how the response
was generated.

Yes, absolutely. I find it contradictory that some pursue a strategy
of separating HTML and script, make their site utterly dependent on
scripting. One result is that they have no recourse to simple HTML
when all else fails.

That is usually only appropriate on an intranet or special purpose
site (e.g. banking or share trading).

Yes. Forcing the use of scripting on the general web is akin to both
those outdated strategies.

I use NoScript always and only allow the scripts that are absolutely
necessary to use a site to run (mostly none at all). I have yet to
find a reason to allow adsense or google-analytics to run.

I'd second that.
