The “standards mode” trigger (or lack thereof) is all that matters from the CSS perspective. It drastically affects the level of CSS support and CSS interpretation, especially on IE.
The HTML5 doctype implies HTML5 syntax, for the purposes of the W3C Markup Validator and validator.nu.
HTML 4.01 Strict, XHTML 1.0 Strict served as HTML, and markup containing new HTML5 elements, will all work and pass existing HTML5 validators,
No, there are constructs that are valid in HTML 4.01 Strict and XHTML 1.0 Strict but trigger error messages in experimental software called HTML5 validators, as the constructs do not conform to HTML5 drafts. For example, <big> and <tt>, or width attribute in <td>. In HTML5 thinking, you are supposed to replace them with CSS. But they still work in browsers no matter what doctype you use.
but the result won't necessarily be the same in all browser versions the OP want to support without including some extra steps/info.
Nothing can ensure that the result will necessarily be the same. But I have no idea of what specific point you are referring to here.
