Get a load of this. That line puts browsers into "standards mode" with a
somewhat-deprecated tag-set. The optimal method is to use the strict
doctype which is similar but more accurate. Not including a doctype at all
goads browsers into "quirks mode", -a sort of haphazard way of functioning
peculiar to the particular browser at hand. Ergo, all your other pages are
flawed and the one with the problem was acceptably correct.
