IMO one should always use a DTD that will put all browsers into
"standards" mode.  In "quirks" mode, which most browsers also have, IE
is just too far out of line.  See the article at
http://www.alistapart.com/stories/doctype/ for good information as to
what DTD's do this.

Personally I always use the DTD for xhtml 1.0 strict whenever I am
starting a new page.  Saves all sorts of hassle, in my experience, but
you have to be willing to give up all those old presentational tags
you may be used to.
