OK, Consider this very simple HTML document:...
How could leaving out the doctype make such a definite difference to such a simple page?
The crucial part of my answer was: "If you know for sure that the markup *is going to be invalid*"
The example you provide is of valid markup. I tried corrupting the code, but interestingly, on Firefox and Opera, even when the markup is blatantly broken, the doctype keeps the browser in standards mode (or almost-standards mode, as the case may be). Interesting...seems the wrong behaviour to me, but still interesting...
You learn something odd/new every day :)
