It is valid for HTML 4.01 Transitional -- which, let's be fair, is quite
common (if not the most common) standard used for websites. You are
however right that it is not valid with HTML 4.01 Strict. In
transitional, <body> may contain inline elements, while in strict it can
not.
Correct --
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/loosedtd.html
has
<!ENTITY % flow "%block; | %inline;">
<!ELEMENT BODY O O (%flow;)* +(INS|DEL) -- document body -->
and inline is
<!ENTITY % inline "#PCDATA | %fontstyle; | %phrase; | %special; | %
formctrl;">
so that #PCDATA is allowed as a child of BODY. This is not the
case for the strict DTD of course.
