I'm using the IE 11 (version 11.0.9431.0), to test our current website and see how it would work when IE 11 will be released with Windows 8.1 mid-October.
What I see on almost all pages is the following message:
HTML1514: Extra "<body>" tag found. Only one "<body>" tag should exist per document.
When I look through the source code, there is no second <body> anywhere. Is this a IE 11 bug? Is this something I should take seriously? The pages work fine btw...
Thanks.
EDIT:
I don't have access to that website anymore, therefore I can't try any new solutions you guys are posting.

Definition and Usage. The <body> tag defines the document's body. The <body> element contains all the contents of an HTML document, such as headings, paragraphs, images, hyperlinks, tables, lists, etc.
The HTML <body> element is found within the <html> tag.
The Body tag is an important element that contains all the content displayed on a web page in a browser. It must be filled in correctly in order for the page to look and be successfully ranked in search engines.
You can only replace the HTML's body element with PHP if you are outputting the HTML with PHP (changing it before outputting it).
If you placed some element (that should appear only inside body) before the <body> tag, the <body> is inserted automatically by the parser (the "Anything else" paragraph) - and this is still valid HTML because body has optional both opening and closing tags. That would mean that the actual <body> is the second one the parser sees. Couldn't this be your case?

My guess is you probably have if IE statements, something like:
<!--[if IE 9]> <body class="ie ie9 lte9"> <![endif]-->
They don't actually work in IE10, let alone IE11 so that's why you'd be getting the extra tag found.

The problem (which is present in IE 10, too) is caused by the element
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_clients/binck_nl/data/js/analytics.js?nl_1377516473" ></script>
It probably modifies the DOM so that IE gets confused.
