The HTML 4.0 spec seems to say otherwise. >From the DTD in the HTML 4.01 Rec - <!ELEMENT HEAD O O (%head.content;) +(%head.misc;) -- document head --> <!ELEMENT TITLE - - (#PCDATA) -(%head.misc;) -- document title --> <!ELEMENT HTML O O (%html.content;) -- document root element --> <!ELEMENT BODY O O (%block;|SCRIPT)+ +(INS|DEL) -- document body --> Very clear, right?
