There are many tests for validation. Checking the display on a
particular browser/platform is one, checking against a DTD is another.
The trouble with W3C is that any error is as bad as any other. Missing
an alt attribute is, in the eyes of the validator, as bad as missing a
</div>.

I have a site that won't validate at strict simply because the client
insisted on having target='_blank' on links.
