It appears that some sites use document.documentElement.firstChild and expect it to be the head element even if there was whitespace before the <head> tag. Safari seems to drop whitespace before the <head> tag. Firefox seems to insert any whitespace before the <head> tag in the head element, even if it was also before the <html> tag or before the doctype, and it also does so with comments. IE seems to drop whitespace and put comments before the <html> tag as siblings to the root element and after as children of the head element. Opera currently does what HTML5 says, and it has caused some compat problems. -- Simon Pieters Opera Software
