Beware: The order of the docype and the xmlprologue makes a signifcant 
difference in IE6 when it comes to it's rendering mode: quirks vs 
standard compliant.

We're late now for 4.2, so I don't recommend such a change as it mean to 
test all pages again for IE6!

And I wouldn't use the strict DTD without reason. As TYPO3 is likely to 
use eg the target attribute transitional or frameset will be much more 
practical.
