.threads outputs with a doctype of XHTML 1.0 transitional which being transitional is somewhat more forgiving than using strict. After reading way more than I cared to about various issues caused by using the XHTML doctypes including much debate by some popular authors on the net I have decided to use the HTML 4.01 strict type myself for other projects.
