I look at a web site "info" and it says,

Whatever is "quirks mode"?
Apologies if this is not the right group to ask.
In the old days of the web, pages were typically written in two versions: One
for
Netscape Navigator, and one for Microsoft Internet Explorer. When the web
standards
were made at W3C, browsers could not just start using them, as doing so would
break
most existing sites on the web. Browsers therefore introduced two modes to treat
new standards compliant sites differently from old legacy sites.

For goodness sake: I though passing W3C compliance http://validator.w3.org/
Was "standards mode"!
So which is really "better",
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
or
<!DOCTYPE html> ?
Furthermore, Does SM's Composer do better with or assume one or the other?
