[...] The longer answer is a bit more complicated. We could, of course, just leave legacy pages without a DOCTYPE and carry on, boldly into the future, but some pages (like stories) still use components that don’t expect a DOCTYPE and break the page rather horribly. We’re also having to reconfigure our CMS to support DOCTYPES properly - a task that’s actually more difficult than writing a line of markup at the top of the page.
