The announcement says about fussy mode: "complain about all sorts of things that are technically legal in HTML, but which is known to be problematic in practice and probably not what you wanted". If this is true, the mode is not actually about being strict, and not about being fussy; it's trying to point out where valid code might be problematic in some browsing situations, or where the code strays from best practice. So why not call it "best practice mode", or "practical mode". Or simply call it "helpful mode", because that's what you really want it to be.
