(Intentionally not included to remain flexible in the various uses for a theme.)
Tumblr will auto-inject code (such as Open Graph Protocol, Twitter Cards & javascript) into the final result for your page. This is out of the theme developers' control. Running it through a HTML Validator or Page Speed may spit out warnings & errors.
(Tumblr injects <!DOCTYPE html>, twice!)
Open Graph Protocol
If you choose not to include this in your <head>, Tumblr will auto-generate it against your will! Isn't that great!?
<head prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb# blog: http://ogp.me/ns/blog#">
