NOSCRIPT by definition puts out _replacement HTML content_ for
otherwise scripting generated content - much like any content inside
an OBJECT tag is displayed when the OBJECT or the necessary plugin is
not available. As the head content is not displayed in the browser, a
NOSCRIPT in the head would be pretty useless.

In short: NOSCRIPT hails back from the times when it was normal to add
for example a navigation via JavaScript in the BODY of the document.

Same as FRAMESET and NOFRAMES.
