isAlmostStrict

Yes.  almostStrict mode is selected for HTML 4.01 transitional in some 
cases but not for HTML 4 transitional (which still uses quirks mode).  
See doctypes.gperf.

My goal in implementing the doctype switching code was to exactly match 
Mozilla's choice of modes.  The code is essentially ported from 
Mozilla.  The Mozilla folks had extensive experience with usage 
patterns on pages with various doctypes and so I decided to leverage 
that experience by matching their mode selection exactly.
