Have a look at the public working draft for XHTML 2.0 and see if there 
is a noscript element. The list of elements 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xhtml2-20060726/elements.html#a_elements > 
does not show a noscript element. Question answered. Pretty easy, wasn't it?

Why do you need a noscript element here?
