Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/syntax.html Multipage: http://www.whatwg.org/C#optional-tags Complete: http://www.whatwg.org/c#optional-tags Referrer: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/ Comment: Rules for omitting <body> don't match the parser Posted from: 90.230.218.37 User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/29.0.1547.49 Safari/537.36 OPR/16.0.1196.45 (Edition Next)
[[ A body element's start tag may be omitted if the element is empty, or if the first thing inside the body element is not a space character or a comment, except if the first thing inside the body element is a script or style element. ]] parser: A start tag whose tag name is one of: "base", "basefont", "bgsound", "link", "meta", "noframes", "script", "style", "title" link and meta can be conforming in body, but I think we might as well list all elements.
