    i think the main difference, practically in weblayout, is the different way browsers render the css-box-modell, depending on the DTD in the code...i prefer transitional, but i also know some 'strict'-lovers.

    transitional allows for more 'wild'-code, so it's easier.

    'future proof' means future in 100+ years anyway, when some code-archeologists are trying to render some early 21st century webpages..if they are DTD strict, they will know for sure how the coder/designer meant it to look.
