If you go to http://livedom.validator.nu/ and try to add <html> the DOM tree shows the head and body elements. I am using this as a reference to compare to my results. Its not reliable then?
Thank you

No, the spec clearly says "Insert an HTML element..." for those as you trace through the parsing.
