I wanted to use Google Webmaster Tools on pangea, and tried to verify ownership with a meta

<meta name="google-site-verification" content="iWyKAa-v6tF3VF9SMInpGS-PVBcJsy4v5p08VyKAkI4">

but I got:

Ownership verification failed
Verification method:
HTML tag
Failure reason:
Your meta tag is not in the <head> section of your home page.
Please fix your implementation and reverify, or use another verification method.

Maybe if we had an explicit <head>…</head> this would not occur.

Yes - absolutely!

For that matter, there should be explicit html and body elements and you might consider what options to support. At a minimum, the html element should support the option to specify the language:

<html lang="en">

Though, you might prefer lang="fr". :)
