Consider:

   <aside>
     <noscript>
       <em>Text</em>
     </noscript>
     <noscript>
       <p>Text</p>
     </noscript>
   </aside>

The content model for <aside> is "Zero or more block-level elements, or 
inline-level content (but not both)". If the only criteria for 
conformaance of <noscript> content is that it have the same content model 
as its parent, the above snippet would be allowed. However, since this:

   <aside>
       <em>Text</em>
       <p>Text</p>
   </aside>

...would be non-conformant (it mixes inline and block-level content), we 
don't want the <noscript> version to be conformant.
