Table clearly shows, that this page should activate standards mode.
It is the last line, „unrecognized doctype“.

I conclude, that "HTML (No Version Present)" means doctype like
this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML//EN">

and <!DOCTYPE html>  falls under "unrecognized !DOCTYPE"
(and is actually the only reason why html5 has doctype at all:
because unrecognized doctype triggers standards compatible mode in IE),
hence the table is accurate. Test with the versionless doctype
I gave above and see.
