           Summary: Whitespace between <head> and <body> should be ignored

Consider the following document:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

The tree builder algorithm will insert a text node containing whitespace
between the head element and the body element.  As far as I can tell, IE,
Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera do not insert this text node:

This page displays true when the whitespace nodes before and after the head
element are not inserted into the DOM.

Is there a reason everyone should change their behavior here?
