    Necessary? No.
    Good to have so long as it represents how you've coded your site? Yes.

    And considering www.google.com doesn't even have it, I would say you don't NEED it.

    The DOCTYPE declaration is not a factor for SEO. It is a factor for ensuring that your pages display well in different browsers.

    Huh? :confused:

    He's talking about DOCTYPE, SVZ.

    Get away from that old lady. You're obviously close to passing out :eek:
