no-content-after-body

Per HTML Living Standard §13.2.6.4.17 (the "after body" insertion mode), once the parser has seen </body>, a start tag or any non-whitespace character is a parse error — the "Anything else" case switches the insertion mode back to "in body" and reprocesses the token, so the content still ends up nested inside <body> even though, in the source, it appears after </body>.

A trailing whitespace-only newline after </body> has its own, non-error case in the same insertion mode and is not reported.
