Well written HTML and CSS are done by people who are well versed in
writing the two. The majority of the stuff on the web is done by people
with a bare knowledge of DW or other graphic page generators. Making
them learn more of DW in order to comply with your wishes will cost you
money.

Who here charges more to validate sites? I'm not asking you, I'm asking
them. It's a matter of pride to many here. This isn't the real world.

The vast majority of business people don't even know what you're talking
about. Selling a sloppy solution with no options for plenty of money is
what sales is all about to the vast majority of businesses engaged in
pushing "internet solutions".

Regardless of all else, your gut instincts to validate are true. There
is a vast difference between a site cranked out by a DW guy in a cubicle
and someone who cares.
Hell, buy DW yourself. Force someone in your organization to learn 20%
of it and publish better stuff than is mostly on the web.
