I recently stumbled upon an issue where it appears that limited quirks mode (almost standards) and standards mode compute the size of replaced content (iframes, objects, images) differently. This is interesting because the documentation for almost standards mode states that it only changes the way images are placed in tables. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko's_Almost_Standards_Mode Test cases: http://elliottsprehn.com/personal/iframe-doctypes/html4-trans.html (almost standards mode) http://elliottsprehn.com/personal/iframe-doctypes/html4-strict.html (standards) http://elliottsprehn.com/personal/iframe-doctypes/html5.html (standards) This means switching to an HTML5 doctype can add spaces around iframes that were otherwise invisible because of a width and height of 0. This reproduces in Webkit and Gecko and probably other browsers. Is this behavior documented anywhere? - Elliott
