Why is this page triggering Quirks mode in IE6?

Here is the beginning code as IE6 (via IETester) sees it:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Title Text &amp; More Text</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="page">
<div id="page-head">
<div id="head">
<h1 id="site-title">
<a href="/" title="Text Text">
<!--<img id="logo" src="graphics/logo-sprites.png" width="200" height="92" alt="Text Text" title="Text Text" />-->
<span id="logo">Text Text</span>
</a>
</h1>
.
.
.

and so on. Is there any reason why this would be triggering Quirks Mode?

According to my testing with a Firefox plug-in, that is standards compliance mode, and not quirks mode. You may have found a bug in the tool you are using to test the page.
