XHTML 1.1 Firefox and Opera problem

I installed AJAX Beta2 and used the CTP template to create a new web site. Which creates default.aspx page, with the doc type of:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
I have a table with images. I run the page in IE7 looks perfect. I ran in FF and Opera the cells height are 5 to 10 px to big. After pulling my hair for about 2 hours. I notice the doctype.
I set it to this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
And the table is correct (works in IE as well).
Should an AJAX site doctype be XHTML 1.1? Does it matter? Why did this break firefox on something so simple as a table?
Thanks

AJAX should support site doctype XHTML 1.1 in the release version. I aslo find the similar issue to yours.The Ajax control size?is?somewhat?different?

Ajax, shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a web development technique for creating interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user makes a change. This is meant to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, and usability.
The Ajax technique uses a combination of:
XHTML (or HTML) and CSS, for marking up and styling information.
The DOM accessed with a client-side scripting language, especially ECMAScript implementations such as JavaScript and JScript, to dynamically display and interact with the information presented.
The XMLHttpRequest object is used to exchange data asynchronously with the web server. In some Ajax frameworks and in certain situations, an IFrame object is used instead of the XMLHttpRequest object to exchange data with the web server, and in other implementations, dynamically added <script> tags may be used.
XML is sometimes used as the format for transferring data between the server and client, although any format will work, including preformatted HTML, plain text, JSON and even EBML. These files may be created dynamically by some form of server-side scripting.
