It doesn't appear clear from the standard (looking at 4.01), but when you have start and end tag both optional, should they be optional as a pair, or each tag alone? I ask because we discovered one of our pages had a <head> tag, but no </head> tag, and it validated okay, which surprised us. We were actually surprised to find that html, head and body were all optional, and we're not sure why, but that's okay. The other thing is that for title the definition (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#edef-TITLE) says "Every HTML document must have a TITLE element in the HEAD section.", but if the head tag is entirely optional anyway, what do we do about title? These things are a little confusing...
