This might be common knowledge, but I've found it useful to throw IE6 into quirks mode when testing as a "quick" way of checking if the IE Box model is behaving..

I found that you don't need to add the XML declaration at the beginning

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

any HTML Comment will do, even a blank one.

<!-- -->

lot less typing or copy/pasting!

In fact, unless the DTD is on the first line, IE6 goes into Quirks Mode because it cannot see it.

Beware of saving work you've emailed to yourself - Outlook Express puts a comment on the top line of any web page saved as an attachment that throws your design into Quirks Mode!

That is why I ZIP everything I e-mail.
