WHAT?
I have never seen such a thing in any documentation, nor does that make
sense to me AT ALL. The following HTML validates with any (AFAIK) doctype:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<img src="x" alt="" />
</body>
</html>
AFAIK, the only tags NOT allowed in the <body> tag are those which
require a 'special' parent tag, like <td> requires <tr> which in turn
requires <tbody> or <table>.
<img> requires no parent and <body> is a perfectly acceptable container.
