           Summary: Ambiguous error message when an HTML element lacks a
                    required child

If the document head lacks the required title element, the validator issues a
rather ambiguous error message:

   end tag for "HEAD" which is not finished

It mentions the possibility that a required child element was not included.  It
would be good if it could identify the missing child.  Something like:

   "HEAD" lacks a required child element: "TITLE"
