The parser has been so defined. I still have to write the syntax part that
defines this for authors, but it will include such prose as well.

(assuming a correct DOCTYPE):
#document
DOCTYPE
HTML
HEAD
TITLE
#text (Foo)
SCRIPT
BODY

(assuming a correct DOCTYPE):
#document
DOCTYPE
HTML
HEAD
SCRIPT
TITLE
#text (Foo)
BODY

Yes; there is always a body element (assuming, again, a correct DOCTYPE is
included).

Same.

In terms of the parsing, this in now done. Please let me know if I omitted
something. I'll write the author side of this in due course (which should
be much simpler... I hope).
