IMHO, A DOCTYPE is a required preamble. DOCTYPEs are required for legacy reasons. When omitted, browsers tend to use a different rendering mode that is incompatible with some specifications. Including the DOCTYPE in a document ensures that the browser makes a best-effort attempt.

Using <!DOCTYPE HTML > you make browser understand you are using HTML5. In fact HTML5 has better tags over HTML
