As I wrote on the page, newer versions of browsers may differ.
That means, especially Safari and Opera might switch to a
*real* standards-compliant mode in newer versions, while older
versions keep in almost-standards mode. Even Henri Sivonen will

The minimum to switch browsers to Compat1 in (X)HTML is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
