According to Lachlan, this does not matter: http://www.w3.org/mid/4B7BB225.9050908@lachy.id.au Reading what Lachlan said, I must conclude that the goal of HTML5, according to Apple Safari, Opera and Mozilla, is to kill off DTDs. I have created a test page here: http://www.målform.no/html4-or-html5/ It is a valid HTML4 page, with a strict DOCTYPE. Hitherto it has triggered strict mode, in all browsers. But now, in Safari 4, Opera 10.5 and Mozilla Minefield, this is not so. HTML5 is increasing the doctypes that triggers quirks mode to an endless amount. -- leif halvard silli
