This is a switch out of backwards-compatibility-hell for a single

Other browsers introduced quirks mode to match buggy behaviour of others

IE/Win DOM mode, which would therefore require a switch?
I don't think you can compare the current quirks mode with something for
which non-IE browsers would have to essentially rethink how to implement
the DOM (allowing "incest" relations) and rendering (hasLayout comes to
mind). Some of the things there fundamentally break with both the DOM and
CSS specifications.
