It's valid, but is it a valid *HTML* document? I think not, since 
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html
requires HTML documents to have title elements
"Every HTML document *must* have a TITLE element in the HEAD section."

Those requirements can't be fully enforced at the DTD level, but are
in the specification. It's clearly a valid SGML document, but I think
describing it as HTML is dubious.
