The same goes for the <body> start tag, whenever the author uses an element which Internet Explorer (at least version 8 and earlier) doesn't know about (aka the new elements that HTML5 defines): If one chooses to not use the <body> start tag, then one must make sure that the new element isn't the first child of the <body> element, or else IE will place the element inside <head> instead of placing it inside <body>.
