Be careful not to confuse <head> and <header>. The <header> is a semantic container element, and it is visible on the page.

But the <head> section contains information for the browser primarily for loading resources and setting parameters. It can optionally contain a <title> element which most browsers will display, but up at the top of the browser window instead of in the page area.
