Most browsers don't do anything with the DTD anyway, so their behavior is the same regardless. The exceptions are IE5/Mac and Netscape 6. If IE5/Mac finds no DTD, it attempts to emulate IE for Windows in how it renders the page. I believe Netscape 6 tries to emulate Netscape 4 if it finds no DTD, but don't quote me on that.
