-// The HTML spec allows for "omitted start tags". These tags are optional
-// when their intended child is the first thing in the parent tag. For
-// example, this is a tbody start tag:
-//
-// <table>
-//   <tbody>
-//     <tr>
-//
-// The tbody may be omitted, and the browser will accept and render:
-//
-// <table>
-//   <tr>
-//
-// However, the omitted start tag will still be added to the DOM. Here
-// we test the string and context to see if the browser is about to
-// perform this cleanup, but with a special allowance for disregarding
-// <script tags. This disregarding of <script being the first child item
-// may bend the official spec a bit, and is only needed for Handlebars
-// templates.
