I'm also opposed, for two reasons that Dave didn't mention:
1) I can conceive of situations where the browser may be throwing
away the text as it renders/presents it.
2) This seems like a quality of implementation issue. If you want a
browser that lets you view the <HEAD>, make sure the one you use does.
The next question that comes up is - do you have something in mind for
which such an ability is required?

Don't laugh to hard. There's at least one browser out there that can
be configured to show the HTTP headers at the end of a document. I
leave that feature turned on, and would be happier if all browsers had
this facility, but I don't think it belongs in the standard.
