Is rendered as:
--- empty line ---
<!DOCTYPE etc...
My understanding is that this additional line can cause issues with elder versions of IE, forcing the browser into quirks mode.
This can be resolved, by putting the Layout deceleration and doctype on the same line, but that's a bit, well ugly. (although not as ugly as the transitional doctype, that was never a thing of beauty!)
