Comment 1 Tab Atkins Jr. 2013-08-21 14:12:53 UTC 
Why?  We can't really expand the set of in-<head> elements anyway, and with MDV, there are uses for inline templates.

See the comments in bug 23002.

<template> is already allowed in <head>. That's not what this bug is about.
Comment 3 Rafael Weinstein 2013-08-22 19:01:49 UTC 
<template> is allowed in head and body.

This bug is asking the question when it is placed after </head> but before <body>, which one does it get put into. Currently it's <body>, and Simon is saying it should be <head>
Comment 4 Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2013-08-22 21:04:26 UTC 
Tony and I chatted--initially we were alarmed by the title, but after reading the details this makes sense. I like the consistency that it then maintains between the other head-able elements. So, I'm in favor of making the change.

Thanks for looping us in.
Comment 5 Tab Atkins Jr. 2013-08-22 21:09:38 UTC 
The fact that inline templates are intended to be used by MDV to stamp out DOM from a data source mans that hoisting is definitely not what we want to do.

<template> isn't intended to be just a data-source element - it'll actually *do* something where it's placed if you put the right attributes on it.
Comment 6 Simon Pieters 2013-08-23 08:59:32 UTC 
Clarifying the title.
