Huh? That's an IE-centric thing. Your complaint was about Firefox,
so this weird mode has no bearing on the issue.

I complained about nothing at all in this thread.
OP had a problem with Gecko rendering, I gave some ideas about it, you
said that quirk mode may also affect on the behavior, I explained that
the page in question is in so-called "CSS1Compat" mode so quirk mode
is not here. So the only person here who raised the DOCTYPE question
in this thread is you so far ;-)

The original mode switch specs are:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb250395.aspx

Original to IE6. It needn't pertain to other browsers, not even IE7
though it probably does.

You have my word on it it does :-) The only change is the fixed bug
with XML declaration in pseudo-XHTML pages that kept IE6 in BackCompat
mode.

which is the standard regulation paper now as all other
browsers are using the same tables.

Oh really?

Absolutely. The browser market is a _market_ - too bad, stubborn,
lazy, stupid, slow or unprofessional are going out - no W3C no W33C
are able to help them.

According to http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/

This is a completely different document you are linking. It is the
same as to take a DOM specs and a test table from quirksmode.org
The first one is what _should_ be, the second one is what it _is_.

The same http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb250395.aspx is
_should_, http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ is _is_. Overall all serious
browsers are standard compliant in this aspect: except some old and
not supported anymore like IE5 for Mac.

I see you believe that MS writes the specs that all other browser makers
should follow. Whether they do or not is immaterial.

http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ is _is_.

And is all that matters. MS drivel is irrelevant, but you go right on
believing whatever you like. BTW, quirks and standards modes have been
around since before IE6 came along.
