The XHTML modularization page seems to suggest that we can have empty body
tags, such as <body></body>.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization/abstract_modules.html#s_structuremodule
lists the contents of body as (Heading | Block | List)*, meaning that all
are optional.

However, the XHTML validator at http://validator.w3.org won't let me have
empty bodies.

Which is correct?
