Good point except that you can not verify your template in IE if you not
set doctype in template :)

It works ok with CSS level 1. Other browsers have issues with CSS above
level 2, so I personally never use anything beyond level 1.

Again: if you use standards mode (and follow standards precizely) you do
not need tricks with IE 6. Even more, today tricks work but who promises
they will work after the next IE patch or in IE 7?

Just following standards is much better then any tricks.
