it's a shit way of doing things - with the added bonus that it usually
comes with shit output (as non-validating, bare-minimum-to-get-it-working
HTML).

is that enough 'why' to start a discussion ;-) probably not :-)

If not, then give us some more. :)

As to why the HTML would be non-validating it would only be because it
wasn't formatted properly in the output.

Let's look at it another way, why 70-80 lines of code when 4 will do it
properly when done correctly?
