Uhg, this just makes absolutely no sense. You're telling me you'll code a layout that doesn't work properly. But setting the doctype to strict makes it suddenly work? It's just ludicrous. I'd love to see what kind of fucked up code you could muster up to do that. Because since doctype won't effect the way a layout's displayed. You could create said layout without a doctype, and then make 6 different copies with six different doctypes and they'll all look exactly the same as the one without a doctype.

Me thinks you can't make this mysterious layout that will magically look different with different doctypes.
