Description
When passing a string with well formed xml or html jQuery will remove any body-element, but leave all children nodes intact.
This can easily be reproduced by doing the following:
var xml = "<note><to>Tove</to><from>Jani</from><heading>Reminder</heading><body>Why is it not hitting this?</body></note>";
console.log($('to, from, heading, body', xml));

There is no signature of jQuery() that accepts an xml string.

Replying to dmethvin:
There is no signature of jQuery() that accepts an xml string.
Well I also stated normal html, not only xml. I've also noticed that it removes head as well as seen here: http://jsfiddle.net/mekwall/s2K2x/
Is there a reason for this behavior?
Edit: Also it's removing the html-element. What if you would want to access the attributes of these elements?

I've marked this ticket needsdocs to have this paragraph from .load() converted to an "Additional Notes" entry and added to all applicable methods.
jQuery uses the browser's .innerHTML property to parse the retrieved document and insert it into the current document. During this process, browsers often filter elements from the document such as <html>, <title>, or <head> elements. As a result, the elements retrieved by .load() may not be exactly the same as if the document were retrieved directly by the browser. -- http://api.jquery.com/load/

When using a CUSTOM tag Instead of DIV the content still includes HTML, HEAD and BODY tags. Cheers Florian
