@Sam's "Yes" is a perfect for "omit the optional, leave the details to interpretation".

There are side-effects/bugs to going rogue: Internet Explorer may construct the wrong DOM, Google SEO can not work for you, even SoloLearn inserts the [Script] and [CSS] tabs before the </head> tag.
I've always been fond of thinking those sections help with timing (preload order, what gets separate threads), but when I searched it looks like that's part of a different system.
