I don't think so. My copy says:
<!ENTITY % head.misc "(script|style|meta|link|object)*">
<!-- content model is %head.misc; combined with a single
title and an optional base element in any order -->
<!ELEMENT head (%head.misc;,
((title, %head.misc;, (base, %head.misc;)?) |
(base, %head.misc;, (title, %head.misc;))))>
<title> can go anywhere in <head>, but it does have to be
present.

No, PIs can go anywhere except within start-tags or end-tags.

Stick to the spec and use compliant software?
