Apparently I was confusing it with this
(http://www.quirksmode.org/index.html?/css/quirksmode.html):

"In Explorer 6 Windows, Microsoft implemented one extra rule: if a
doctype that triggers strict mode is preceded by an xml prolog, the
page shows in quirks mode. This was done to allow web developers to
achieve valid pages (which require a doctype) but nonetheless stay in
quirks mode.

This is the xml prolog. You should put it on the very first line of
your document, before the doctype."

Anyway, I have no idea where that new line is coming from. I moved the
 DOCTYPE declaration to the top of the page in the test. Horde_Form
doesn't handle the output of DOCTYPE, so this is just an artifact of
the test.

Thanks,
