Whow guys, count to ten, take deep breaths or something! Just for
clarification in 4.01 strict the HTML, HEAD and BODY elements are all
optional
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#edef-HTML
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#edef-HEAD
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#edef-BODY
However if you use a TITLE, both opening and closing tag are required
and is to be within the HEAD.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#edef-TITLE
With SCRIPT element the TYPE attribute _is_ required
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/scripts.html#edef-SCRIPT
and LANGUAGE is _deprecated_.
Now for the IMG the ALT attribute _is_ required
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/objects.html#edef-IMG
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/objects.html#adef-alt
Your page will not explode if you leave it off, but it is an error...

Take care,
