Standards and quirks mode I meant.
But I thought the idea was that there is to be one HTML, with such
well-defined error handling for UAs that there will be no more modes
except The One Mode.
Well, this would remove the need for a "mode-check" here. However, there
are probably cases where we can't reduce the differences between quirks
and standards mode (and almost standards mode...) and therefore we have to
live with at least those modes. The main idea however, is that we don't
want require UAs to implement a versioning mechanism that would require
different engines. I also think we should strive for reducing the amount
of differences between standards and quirks mode and at some point define
quirks mode so UAs can simply implement it based on a specification as
opposed to some never ending expensive reverse engineering story.
