In Firefox 2:

The first produces CSS1Compat, the second BackCompat. As far as I can
tell, Firefox requires the doctype to be found when parsing [using
standards-mode rules] the first 1024 characters (not bytes) from the
first non-whitespace character, and then it reparses the whole
document in quirks mode if necessary.
Not for me it doesn’t (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070603 Fedora/2.0.0.4-2.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.4). Both
render in standards mode for me.
