Any idea why the doctype would matter concerning the following CSS?

div#sideNav a:before
{
        content: url(left_curve.gif);
        vertical-align: bottom;
}

When used with a HTML transitional doctype it works as expected with the 
included image aligned to the bottom of the inline a element.

When used with a XHTML strict doctype it does not line up with the bottom of 
the inline a element, but rather only lines up with the baseline.

I have not tried other doctypes yet.  This has been tested in Firefox; it 
obviously does not apply in IE since IE currently does not know how to handle 
generated CSS content.

TIA
