This is as much as you'll ever need in most cases. The point of <noscript>
is to provide alternative content for Javascript-compatible browsers which
happen to have support for it turned off. It (rather obviously) has no
relevance for those few remaining browsers that don't understand
Javascript at all, because by definition they won't understand <noscript>
any more than they'll understand <script>. Which is why scripts should go
inside comment codes (as above), so that those browsers will just ignore
all the material inside the tags it doesn't understand. Theoretically :)
