Not sure if this is what's zapping you, but the web2py "ide" editor likes to provide close tags as soon as you've entered the open tag. You could have a close tag for BODY and HTML sitting there when you try to type your own close tag. My vague memory of something I did last week says "it will let you", but maybe not. You can, of course, edit the file outside of the "ide" editor; I often use emacs on a linux system. Notepad on Windows isn't so good (doesn't understand linux line endings), but I think Wordpad works, and certainly NoteTab Light.
