Which HTML tags are indispensable for a HTML document?

Forget about those smart rendering engines of state-of-art browsers. In terms of the W3C standards, which are the "indispensable" (non-removable) tags for a standard HTML document?

Furthermore, is there any difference about it in the HTML5 standard?

Thanks.

By the HTML 4.01 specification, the only obligatory tags are <title> and </title>. The same goes for the HTML5 drafts. In XHTML, different rules apply, see the spec.

The elements which every document must have are: <html>, <head>, <title>.

According to the validator, this is valid:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>

edit: Even smaller:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>Title</title>
