* Very few authors use Transitional either
* Some authors pick the doctype based on the rendering mode it kicks IE
into (and believe that Transitional = Quirks and Strict = Standards -
which isn't exactly true)
* Strict SOUNDS harder
* Many authors fear lack of support for CSS (or care a great deal
about pixel perfect layouts on Netscape 4.x)
* Iframes are popular with advertisers - so many advertising supported
sites use Transitional for iframe support.
