&gt; The page validates despite missing a &lt;/body&gt; and &lt;/html&gt; tag.

Closing tags for body and html elements are optional in HTML4.01, which this page is using.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/index/elements.html

If you want a doctype where elements&apos; closing tags are always necessary, see XHTML 1.0.
