True, but the whole purpose of a library like jQuery is to abstract such pains and make it "just work". IE6 is still a common browser (especially in corporate environments) and "quirks mode" pages are common. With all the work-arounds for special cases in other areas of jQuery, I think this should work correctly regardless of doctype as well. IMO :)
