Unable to validate an XHTML1.1 document with an empty body from Dave Laurenson on 2004-04-01 (www-validator@w3.org from April 2004)

Message-ID: <406C0A80.3090108@ed.ac.uk>

The standard says that the minimal content of a <body> element is

( Heading | Block | List )*

yet when I try to validate a document with </head><body></body> I get a 
validation error stating:

end tag for "body" which is not finished

Is this an error in the validator?

Dave.
