The <html> tag is by no means necessary according to HTML5 drafts. It's also optional in all other HTML versions except those based on XML (like XHTML 1.0). This being said, it is normally good practice to include an <html> tag, but mainly because it's an appropriate place for specifying the overall language used in the document content, e.g. <html lang=de>. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
