talking about first...

The DOCTYPE is case-insensitive, it's not that. Changing the "4.0" to "4.01" however, puts both Firefox and Opera into Standards mode, changing nothing else on the page.

Do note that Firefox is also currently in Quirks mode viewing BBC News pages, and was before this change - you can see this in the Page Info box: "Render Mode: Quirks mode". It's just the change of font-size from "13px" to "small" has shown this up in Opera. Changing the DOCTYPE may, of course, cause other changes to the rendering of the page :-)
