I didn't explain it properly.
Nothing disappeared, just didn't work.
Examples of the CSS code that didn't work:
font-size aplied to <h1> or <li>
Browser: Mozilla firefox
The DTDs I'm speaking about are those referred by the HTML 4.01
specification: loose.dtd for transitional, and strict.dtd for strict.
