Yes, I think the "quirks" doctest is "recommended".  At least in GWT
1.5.  I got it from the generated HTML from GWT 1.5.  FWIW, the
"standards" doctest is recommended here, in the "Introduction to GWT-
Ext 2.0" tutorial.
http://www.gwt-ext.com/wiki/index.php?title=Tutorial:Introduction_to_GWT-Ext_2.0

I test first in GWT's shell mode.  Then I compile and try Firefox 3.0
(Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052912
Firefox/3.0).  That's as far as I usually go.  I'm running Ubuntu
Linux on VMWare on Mac O/S so I also have access to Safari for testing
if I think I have something ready to deliver.  And I have a Windows
machine that I occasionally turn on so I can run a final test with IE.

I just googled "doctest" yesterday for the first time myself.  I'm
glad I don't have to pick sides because it wasn't clear to me if I'm
running a risk using "quirks" mode.  I'm not even sure what "quirks"
mode means.  I'm hoping GWT will protect me.
