IE6 Box Model and DTD

Doctype declaration as a solution to IE6's box model problem?

Does the DOCTYPE Declaration solve the problem completely?

I always have this declaration on my websites:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

I've always tested my websites in IE6 and they looked as good as they are in Firefox and Opera, and I never really witnessed the box model problem.

The bug persists in quirks mode, so in essence the DTD can solve the problem.
