Hi, In the thread on renaming the html element type (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html/2005Nov/0061.html), Sjoerd Visscher wrote: <blockquote> I see only one good reason to change this, and that is to get rid of the html/head/body structure. The latest WD makes a big step towards putting meta data in the content. This makes it possible to drop the head completely. </blockquote> It is not necessary to get rid of the head, just because it is possible to do this. Some people may want a clean separation between metadata and content, as described in the Head-Body design pattern (http://www.xmlpatterns.com/HeadBodyMain.shtml). If there are use cases for this pattern, why prevent people from using it?
