'After head' is now defined to eat all end tags. If the state is 'in head' and
there's a stray end tag, subsequently things happen in the 'after head' state
which means that stuff that does belong in <head> is in error but ends up in
<head> anyway. Intuitively, the stray end tag is in error, but normal <head>
children after it aren't.

It might be worthwhile to adjust things so that the stuff that usually belongs
in <head> doesn't emit errors if there was an ignored end tag first.
