Placing <HTML> tags inside a content placeholder

Question

I'm working for a company as a contractor and modifying someone's code that doesn't look quite right to me. To be brief, he has a complete html page inside the content placeholder tags of an asp.net master/child setup.

The application seems to run okay...even though it seems a little slow at times. So my question is this, does anyone have any trouble with this page within a page?

Basically, it looks like this:

ASP.NET

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">

	<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="index.aspx.vb" Inherits="TestApp.Index" %>

	<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

	<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	    <head runat="server">
	    </head>
	    <body>
	    </body>
	</html>

</asp:Content>

What I have tried:

I'm thinking of pulling out the HTML tags and putting any scripts in the HEAD content placeholder.

It doesn't look right, but I suppose it depends what is in the master page. If there is no content there at all then I suppose you'll need it all in the content page, but if that's the case why use master pages?

The master page has a full complement of links and menus. Really not sure why he's doing this. He's basically creating a page within a page. I have never seen this before and have no idea if there's any performance penalty...just very weird to me.
