Hvorfor gør vi det?

html {
	display: block;
}
head {
	display: none;
}
body {
  display: block;
  margin: 8px;
}
h1 {
  display: block;
  font-size: 2em;
  margin-block-start: 0.67em;
  margin-block-end: 0.67em;
  font-weight: bold;
}
a:-webkit-any-link {
  color: -webkit-link;
  cursor: pointer;
  text-decoration: underline;
}
