even better testcase
208 bytes, text/html
Details 
User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8

Firefox interprets the page at
http://www.artefact.org.nz/cgi-bin/wordhoard/test.cgi in quirks mode, and in
view source shows:

<DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Test</h1>
</body>
</html>

However, a basic (telnet) request and response is actually:

Trying 202.0.62.88...

Connection closed by foreign host.

Notice that the quotation marks have been removed from around the public and
system parts of the DTD in Firefox's source view.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.artefact.org.nz/cgi-bin/wordhoard/test.cgi
2. View source to see missing quotes
3. View page info to see that it is using quirks mode

Actual Results:  
The source is missing the quotation marks that the server sends out as part of
the document type declaration, and Firefox is (consequently?) interpreting the
document in quirks mode.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should not have removed the quotation marks, and should interpret the
document according in strict mode.
The server doesn't respond....
Hmm, it seems fine to me - the logs are showing my accesses, as well as those of
many other IP addresses. I don't have an alternate place to put the script.
However, given that the script is simply:

#!/usr/bin/env python

print "Content-Type: text/html"
print
print """<DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Test</h1>
</body>
</html>"""

it isn't hard to replicate elsewhere.
I see this on LInux 2004030609
Attached file testcase (obsolete) — 
<DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

Mozilla drops the quotes, but kicks into quirks mode because of the missing '!'
before the DOCTYPE.  This occurs even when loading directly from local disk.
Attached file even better testcase — 
<foo "bar">  ==>  <foo bar>
