Details

See test page uri. It does not render. Adding the <BODY> element back in makes NGLayout render it pixel perfect. WHAT HAPPENS: NG Layout displays background of BODY and nothing else. Presumably it puts the rest of the document into the HTML element directly, instead of infering a BODY start tag, but since I do not have a debug build I cannot confirm this. WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN: NG Layout should infer the optional BODY start tag. This is a regression. NGLayout has rendered that page fine in the past.

I don't see the problem. The page given above renders correctly for me. Can someone verify that the correct URL is given?

I guess this bug is caused by me. Assinging the bug to myself.
Unable to reach the above URL!!!.
The URI is correct. There may have been a transient glitch when you tried. If you still cannot reach it (and you've checked your local setup...) say so again and I'll move it somewhere else.

The problem was, when the body was not present, all the tags that could not be contained inside the HTML element got discarded. This bug was caused by me when I added code to discard misplaced tags ( especially in the HEAD ). Verified the page and it looks fine now. Marking the bug fixed.
