Description Sam Weinig 2007-10-07 13:10:42 PDT 
The newly added document.compatMode does not update when the doctype changes, or is removed, in cases when the compatMode has changed.  This can be observed by going to  http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/ and removing the doctype from the example text.  It should change from CSS1Compat to BackCompat but doesn't.
