I haven't checked html5 for the full list of these, but two particularly common examples are <head> and <body> <!DOCTYPE html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <title>zzz</title> <p>zzz</p> </html> is a valid html5 document that is well formed as XML, but the HTML parser produces <!DOCTYPE html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head> <title>zzz</title></head> <body><p>zzz</p> </body></html> with head and title being added automatically 43265 1 davidc 2010-12-10 18:28:19 +0000 (In reply to comment #0) > I haven't checked html5 for the full list of these, but two particularly common > examples are <head> and <body> I think that <html> is the only other one if my reading of html5 is correct. 43648 2 eliotgra 2010-12-29 19:44:05 +0000 Section 6.1 now begins: Every polyglot markup document contains an <html>, <head>, <title>, and <body> element. The <html> element is the root element. The <head> and <body> elements are children of the <html> element. The <title> element is a child of the <head> element. Therefore, the following source code would be the most basic polyglot markup document. Example <!DOCTYPE html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> </body> </html> Thanks for the feedback.
