    A good rule of thumb, IMO, is to fix known problems with your code --
especially if they are likely to cause rendering issues -- and then ask for
help debugging problems that you can't resolve. It is highly likely that
multiple <head> or <body> elements will cause rendering issues in some
browsers; that they don't in all browsers is testament to the leniency of
those browsers that actually display your page.
    So, bottom line: fix the known problems, and if rendering issues still
occur *then* come back to the list for help.
