I don't think that's quite right. The HEAD _element_ is required,
but neither start nor end tags are required:

--- begin quote ---
<!ENTITY % html.content "HEAD, BODY">

<!ELEMENT HTML O O (%html.content;) -- document root element -->
--- end quote ---
(from http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/dtd.html#html.content )

The TITLE element is also required:

--- begin quote ---
<!ENTITY % head.content "TITLE & BASE?">

<!ELEMENT HEAD O O (%head.content;) +(%head.misc;) -- document head -->
--- end quote ---
(from http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/dtd.html#head.content )

And further:

--- begin quote ---
Every HTML document must have a TITLE element in the HEAD section.
--- end quote ---
(from http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#edef-TITLE )

jojo is quite right here.
