Not necessarily, but even if it were true, strict HTML 4.0 breaks backward compatibility with older browsers. When you're supporting vintage Macs with vintage operating systems and vintage browsers, compatibility across a wide range of platforms is much more useful than being fully compatible with the latest HTML specification or the latest 6.0 level browsers.
