Good point. If you're statically validating all templates, then putting the doctype in every template is a good thing. However, if you're not statically validating, then putting the doctype in every template is hazardous, because it's easy to forget, and if you forget, the browser quietly slips into quirks mode, causing insidious little CSS bugs. The moral: I guess static template validation would have saved me those hours I spent debugging CSS this week, and maybe putting the doctype in the main template has more cons than pros.
