Wrong... If no use of <!doctype>, browsers can not guess wich version is used, and would turn into a 'quircks mode' with older standard basics than Html4 (when there was mostly Netscape and IE as browser choice and they don't provide much compatibility between them ^^
Html4 have specific uggly <!doctype>s dedicated to each of its different flavours, and has been simplified for Html5, but not providing a <!doctype> declaration, will absolutly not turn implicitly your document to be parsed as Html4 specifications :P
