In many cases yes. For the given document, presented as a real (though trivial) example of a small document, I don't think "quirks mode" differs from "standards mode". After all, "quirks mode" does not mean "mess up everything", just "behave by old nonstandard rules in ways we don't bother telling too exactly". -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
