I have had a few projects where the HTML was not 100% under my own control
and couldn't run in standards mode.

However, in those situations, I did NOT promise the client full
compatibility across all major browsers.

If this was an issue with the client, I demanded either control over the
HTML or for the HTML writer to add the correct DOCTYPES to enforce standards
mode.

I would recommend this approach for so many, many, many reasons.

Could anyone explain this statement on the wiki page?

"You should always be sure to run your page in standards mode. There
are
known issues with methods not working correctly in quirks
mode (including errors in the selector engine in Safari). "

Is there a list of the known issues somewhere? (I browsed the bug
tracker but it's difficult to find things).

It's not always possible to run pages in standards mode. If jQuery 1.3
will break my quirks pages, I need to know what to look for.
