Why does head accept die option -1 and tail does not, in this same

Please see this FAQ entry regarding arguments to tail:
http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#Old-tail-plus-N-syntax-now-fails
I'm not sure why head and tail are not behaving the same way, but
generally that form of the syntax is not encouraged.
Cheers,
