Can anyone give a simple explanations of the basic differences between the 
various HTML versions (is that the right word?) - 
4.0, 3.2, 2.0. 
Also, what do the different specifications mean - final, strict, draft? 
I see these used in !DOCTYPE declarations. Should I include a !DOCTYPE 
declaration on my HTML docs? If so, why?

TIA!
