    Per HTML and XHTML standards, a
    DOCTYPE (short for “document type
    declaration”) informs the validator
    which version of (X)HTML you’re using,
    and must appear at the very top of
    every web page. DOCTYPEs are a key
    component of compliant web pages: your
    markup and CSS won’t validate without
    them.

    and Take a look at 24 Ways Article “Transitional vs. Strict Markup“

    at coming HTML 5 , you’ll only need to declare

    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
