the head is no place for actual displayed content, you put that in the body! (well except document title!)

When you say the code works, what did you mean? I have never seen an user agent that would display head element, so I don't know how your code would "work", without you being able to see it.

You've never seen Firefox? or IE? This "works" in both of them (and in other browsers too I expect):
Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">[/URL]
<html xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"[/URL] xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>Don't Try This at Home!</title>
<a href="#">Hello World!</a>
</head>
<body>
<p>Did you see that?</p>
</body>
</html>
It's definitely not recommended though. Why would you even want to try it?

Oops. Actually, FF says that default CSS for <head> is display: none; so I assumed that nothing in there would show. I guess I should be more adventurous with my coding.
