Where is the < foot > tag in HTML?

A few days ago I realized that in our HTML documents we have the < head > and < body > tags but, what happened to the < foot > tag? Did someone just forget it? Maybe it was lost in the browser wars?

I did some searching and couldn't really find any information about a < foot > tag ever existing. I could really see a < foot > tag being useful for many things that are similar to the head tag but for secondary info. Basically It could just be a "footnote" for the page.

A foot tag could contain things like publisher/author information (in depth extensions of microformats), behavioral JavaScript that needs to run after the DOM is available, RSS feeds, credits, references to a site-map, contact info and so on. I could see a need for this in my documents as my header tags are starting to get pretty large and I could really use some further separation. Also browsers (think mobile) that didn't need or use this information could just ignore or only load the necessary information.

What do you think? Does the < foot > tag seem like something you could use?
