Acid3: parsing quirk

http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%3C!doctype%20html%3E%3Cspan%3E%3C%2Fspan%3E%3Cscript%3Ew(document.getElementsByTagName(%27span%27).length%20%3D%3D%201)%3C%2Fscript%3E

If there are no explicit <body> and <head> tags and no text nodes have  
appeared yet at least Firefox does some weird re-ordering of nodes which  
causes scripts to return different things. I think that from HTML 4 you  
can reasonably say that this behavior is incorrect.
