The DTD says the content model for HTML is: > <!ENTITY % html.content "HEAD, BODY"> However because it _must_ be there, the system can tell it's there without you needing to put any tags in, so both the start and end tag may be omitted. But (as stated on this list most days) tags are not elements. Just because you omit both the start and end tags does not mean that you have omitted the element. On the contrary the element will be reported as present, by an SGML parser and be able to be queried by dsssl etc. > Perhaps in HTML there is such a thing as an implicit (tagless) > element? :) quite so, yes (no smiley..)
