Hi Eric,

I'm not sure about this, but I think that Tidy only switches to
Transitional of there are elements in the document that are only allowed in
Transitional (i.e. "deprecated" elements).
If there are no such elements, Tidy switches to Strict doctype because the
document really is writtenin strict XHTML syntax.
