Yes, the one for 'head', otherwise the title and style would show up which
would look messy. But the point is that the UA stylesheet is presumed to
set "display:block" using "p" as a selector, and the specificity of "p" is
higher than that of the "*" in the author stylesheet. But the author rule
wins nevertheless, and the paragraphs are shown as inlines.
