Subject: [PHP] What Works Works Validator
> This is OT in that it's more about HTML than PHP, but solutions involving
> PHP would be particularly welcome.
>
> After playing with the W3C validator again for an hour or so...
>
> The thing is, I really want to be backwards compatible with ancient
> browsers. Like, REALLY ancient.
>
> Like, say, going back as far as 3.0 browsers.

> So, relying on CSS to do my layout is a non-option. It's just not there.

> But I LIKE the idea of having HTML validated to catch tag imbalance, typos

>
> I don't really want to be compatible with the W3C standards, however,

>
> For example, I simply can't validate with a 100% height table, but that's
