It might be a descendent of a div, but it is a child element of a
noscript element.
<!ELEMENT NOSCRIPT - - (%block;)+
The element called no script has a required start tag, a required end
tag, and contains one or more elements in the group "block" (which
doesn't include <a>).

Presumably because noscript contains content to display if scripting
isn't available, and you can't put content in the head section, but
that's a question for the HTML working group rather then people
involved in QA.
