SAXParser: an HTML content inside <noscript> tag is not parsed correctly

[eGavr]

Hi, here is the minimal test case:

var parse5 = require('parse5');

var parser = new parse5.SAXParser();

parser.on('startTag', function(tagName) {
    console.log(tagName); // logs only 'noscript'
});

parser.write('<noscript><div></div></noscript>')

The parser supposes that the content of <nonscript> is a simple text, but it is an HTML, isn't it?

parse5 always behaves as an interactive user agent, so it parses noscript as a text, like browsers with enabled javascript do. If you wish to contribute, we can introduce option to switch parse5 to non-interactive user agent mode. Searching Tree Construction section of the HTML spec for "interactive user agent" is a good starting point.

As I remember browsers with enabled javascript just skip the content of tag nonscript, but not consider it as text.

Why do not parse a content as HTML in case of HTML by default? :)
I mean, that the parser could detect whether a content is HTML or not and parse it in the first case, and do not parse in the second one.

Because it's per spec.

It's considered as a text. It's just not rendered
