If document is declared as strict or transitional it must validate
against corresponding DTD's in order to be valid. When there's no
declaration, there's nothing to validate against. If quirks mode is
triggered by lack of doctype declaration, then validity does not even
apply, since there's no declaration to validate against. Am I missing
something?
