This message is off-topic for public-html. Public-html is for  
discussion about developing the HTML spec--not for authoring questions.

Information about what makes browsers as implemented go into the  
quirks mode is available at
http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/

The spec about what should make browsers go into the quirks mode is at
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/syntax.html

A validator that complains about pages that would trigger the quirks  
mode is at
http://html5.validator.nu/
