<html>, <head> and <body> tags are unnecessary #17

http://alignedleft.com/tutorials/d3/fundamentals lists <html>, <head> and <body> tags in simplest HTML page, but these are in fact unnecessary, so simplest page can be reduced to:

<title>Page Title</title>
<h1>Page Title</h1>
<p>This is a really interesting paragraph.</p>

Well, yes and no. These elements are necessary for HTML, but if you omit them, your browser will simply insert them for you. (That's how necessary they are.) :-)

Indeed. DOM model shows that these are inserted.
