All browsers understand any doctype. It's the code (or ignore that line
if they don't). It's hte CODE that is important.
Personally I think XHTML 1.0 Strict or XHTML 1.1 is the way to go for
most sites these days. It depends on the target group though, if I were
building a site for the over 70's I'd assume many of them may have old
machines and may never have upgraded their browser. So, 4.01
Transitional and table layouts would probably be a good call.
However, I run a lot of sites and they *all* use valied XHTML 1.1 and
CSS and I have no complaints and no problems.
