If there isn't any doctype you won't have to worry. IE8 will use the old render engines for that.

Subject: RE: [WSG] IE8 beta's a nightmare

Hi Thom,

finally someone who addressed my original question ;-)

We'd tested a few sites, build over the last 18...24 months, and I'm not
sure about how much IE-only styles there are. I guess the doctype is
mainly XHTML Transitional if at all.

I hope once IE8 is out of beta we'll have more joy...

Cheers,

Jens

My own experience was that IE8 was rendering surprisingly well. I use
conditional comments to fix IE issues, however they where targeting IE
lte 7 so IE8 wasn't getting any fixes. But it didn't need to. That's
with strict XHTML doctype. Haven't tried any other.
