I don't really understand the question.
As written, the css shown will work under HTML dtds (and XHTML
transitional? I'm not sure as I never use it) but not XHTML strict DTDs.
No, it will not work under XHTML at all. The DOCTYPE is irrelevant,
XHTML is case sensitive and uppercase element selectors will not match
anything in XHTML. It will only work for text/html.
To make it work correctly for XHTML strict, you should change each tag
name to lowercase.
Its a trivial change.
There's little point for authors to use that stylesheet, it is intended
as a guide for browser implementors and was supposedly based on the
default styles applied by browsers at the time. (Although there are
still many differences between that stylesheet and real world browsers)
