Yes, you've missed something :-).  HTML has <html> and </html> because
there is an implied (if missing)

  <!doctype HTML system>

at the beginning of every HTML document.  In XML you will have an explicit

  <!doctype TOP system "mine.dtd">

that will say that this document's top element is <top>...</top>.
