And you did: Tag omission in text/html: 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 meta, link, script, style, or template element. — https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/sections.html#the-body-element Tag omission in text/html: An html element's start tag can be omitted if the first thing inside the html element is not a comment.
