Geoffrey,
Even what you say here is questionable ... otherwise contradicting what
other browsers do.
http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/#handling
reports that Opera 10 will trigger standards compliant rendering mode if
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">
is used.
Also, Mozilla Firefox[1] and Microsoft IE6+ will trigger standards
compliant rendering mode if
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">
is used.
{
Both of the declarations in the following example specify conformance to
the HTML 4.0 DTD. The first declaration does not specify a Definition.
The second declaration specifies the StrictDefinition of this DTD.
Neither declaration specifies the URL. Both of these declarations switch
on standards-compliant mode.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Strict//EN">
}

Again, this webpage should be updated:
http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/presto26/doctypes/
All examples in CSS 2.1 use
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
