Well, the page you cite does say, "Standards-compliant mode is also 
switched on when you specify a version of HTML that is not listed in 
the table, such as HTML 1.0 or HTML 3.22."  Version 4.01 is not 
listed in the table, so therefore I would deduce that 4.01 always 
triggers standards-compliant mode, regardless of URL.  I have not 
tested this deduction in practice, however, and would be interested 
to hear the results.

Whatever the results of that test, however, it should not alter your 
conclusion, which I reproduce for emphasis:
