The page is served with Content-Type: text/html, and it declares <!DOCTYPE
html>, so HTML5 rules are applied with no regard to XML requirements. In
any HTML version except XML-based versions, the tags </head> and </body>
are optional (and so are the corresponding start tags). These tags may be
used to indicate the structure of a document, and some people might
consider them as good practice, but they have no real impact on the
processing of the document (Neither do the start tags as such, though their
attributes may have an effect.)
