- uses "CSS1Compat" mode in MSIE 6 and Mozilla 1.6 but "QuirksMode"
mode in Opera 7.23.
Can anyone tell me why it is provoking the same mode in Mozilla as it
is MSIE?
Looks like Moz is somehow using the doctype inside the conditional
comment to determine the rendering mode.

Looks like a bug. If I had the energy I'd search Bugzilla for it.
