Note that with html5 the html and head tags are optional again

The html and head tags (and body too) have been optional in every version of HTML not named XHTML.

  Omitting <body> is a bit risky in my opinion because inline script may see document.body == null.

This author is mere moments away from writing their own SSG to expedite the boilerplate, now.

I've never bothered with the viewport device width stuff. I don't have an iDevice. But I'm sure Apple will adopt sane defaults any week now, so it will all be obsolete.

  It isn't just for iDevices, it's for any mobile device. Without it, the page will default to a zoomed out emulated desktop-sized screen. If you don't test mobile sizes you shouldn't add it, but if you do you should.
