It's only "phony" if you strictly limit your definition... the vast majority
of people would agree that CSE HTML Validator is a validator since they
understand the general meaning and function of an "HTML validator". Plus,
CSE HTML Validator can find many more problems than "real" validators. Have
a look at
http://www.htmlvalidator.com/htmlval/whycseisbetter.html
The online validator at http://www.htmlvalidator.com/ is limited since it is
based on the free lite edition, so it doesn't find as many issues as the
paid versions, but still is quite useful and can still find issues that
other validators and checkers miss.
But passing validation by any validator does not mean your page will display
"right". Different browsers can display the same HTML differently, and this
greatly complicates trying to render certain things a specific way in
multiple browsers.
