Flip HTML5 strip?

Possible duplicate:
HTML5 in IE6 when JavaScript is disabled

I heard a lot of talk about using HTML5 and just rely on javascript padding as a backup for <IE8. But what happens if the user has javascript disabled? This is a difficult situation. Could there be a backup for html5 backup? What is your opinion on this?

To a large extent this cannot be. The point of laying is to force IE to recognize HTML5 tags with a hack, and there is no other way than Javascript to implement this hack. If that were the case, we would not use Javascript for this.

One blogger noted that you can use conditional comments to change what the tags themselves are, if you really care so much about your non-Javascript IE, but I would recommend against such an ugly mess, unless it is for a very significant snippet your users.

If they use IE without Javascript, they just ask for a truly degraded experience.
