Comment 1 Simon Pieters 2013-08-18 20:31:33 UTC 
[[
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.
