Running a Netlify plugin using html-validate fires warnings against redirect pages.

Spec-wise the <head>, <body> tags can be omitted without invalidating the document.

Updated the PR name to reflect that! You’re right that they can be omitted according to the spec; html-validate is being more strict than the spec here. Also, interestingly, the Google style guide recommends their omission.

@cmbuckley Yep, I saw the Google recommendation as well. Thanks for posting a link here.
In the light of the new info, is it necessary to proceed with the proposal?

Also, is html-validate parsing the document correctly as HTML5?

html-validate only validates HTML5 documents, but they do state strictness as a design choice.

I can see either side here; the PR isn’t strictly necessary and the validation rules can be set to warn-only, but I would struggle to consider this an “optimisation” and it would be nice to keep the validator rules for other parts of the content model. I haven’t found a nice way to exclude specific files from the validator.
