Summary:
Snippet editor is useless as bug reduction tool. It always works in strict mode (CSS1Compat) despite DOCTYPE.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Go to "Show Snippet Editor" in Debug menu.
2) Type the following code:
"<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(document.compatMode);
</script>
</body>
</html>"
Expected behavior:
Preview should display: "BackCompat"
Current behavior:
Preview displays "CSS1Compat"

The snippet editor is not part of WebKit.
