The default DOCTYPE should be 1.0 Transitional, so leaving out the line
should not change anything. I am not sure what controls do with it,
although it could be examined underneath the hood by using reflector
(from redgate.com - free) to see how it is assigning styles. My guess is
it has a different path when DTD is explicitly assigned, even if to the
same DTD as the default.
CSS will work slightly differently depending on whether classes or IDs
are used, but I have not memorized the rules.
