That's what I was doing on the 'new-style' branch. The problem is that
the rendering changes a little in standards mode. One problem is that
margins are different in tables, to fix that I added to the CSS:
table th > *:first-child,
table td > *:first-child
{
margin-top: 0;
}
table th > *:last-child,
table td > *:last-child
{
margin-bottom: 0;
}
Which seems to work okay. I was also trying to convert it to use more
consistent units for fonts.

I think it does, but even in not, it's close enough. We could use the
alternative HTML5 doctype:
<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "about:legacy-compat">
But I don't know if browsers respect it. The 4.01 doctype should be fine.
