That si in general good advice ;)

It depends a bit... If you use

<!DOCTYPE foo PUBLIC "-//RvG//DTD foo 2.0//EN">
  or
<!DOCTYPE>

... Mozilla goes into Quirks mode. That is probably the smart thing to do 
in such a case, but it is a difference between Mozilla and MSIE.

Doctypes like this one
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//RVG//DTD HTML 4.0 Rijk//EN"  
"http://home.concepts-ict.nl/~rijk/rijk.dtd">
... are probably more common, and trigger Standards mode in both Mozilla 
and MSIE.
