Jeff Croft labi izteicies par piesiešanos citu cilvēku veidotajiem HTML par validāti:

Your markup validator, whether it’s the one on the W3C site or one built into your favorite coding tool, is a debugging tool. It should be used as such. Its job is to find errors in your code, so that you can fix them (or at least be aware of them). […] There is almost never a good reason for you to be validating someone else’s code. Usually, if you’re validating someone else’s code, it’s because you’re being an asshole.

Skarbi, bet diezgan patiesīgi. Tas tā - veltījums tiem, kas lapas kvalitāti mēra pēc kļūdu skaita nevis, piemēram, loģiskuma.
