flipper52, my problem is that WordPress should not be Transitional. The transitional doctype tells you not to use it. In the doctype itself it declares:
“Authors should use the Strict DTD when possible, but may use the Transitional DTD when support for presentation attribute and elements is required.” – W3C
Transitional doctype exists to allow web designers/developers to declare a doctype until they have the time and resources required to fix it and make it strict compliant.
So by the very nature of using the transitional doctype it is a statement that it is broken and needs to be fixed. With that fact established, then you can see why someone would request stuff that is broken be fixed.
