Bugs :
K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
If the page doesn't contain the HTML tag or the BODY tag the page loads blank.
This is the intended behavior. Gecko is standards compliant.
True, but a browser is not supposed to be a HTML validator. It should allow for some HTML weakness. Since Netscape 1, missing HTML or BODY never stopped a page from rendering, so there are thousends of pages on Web with this kind of shortcomings which people were able to see. Deliberately misusing the code is another issue.
