There a great amount of times where your page will not meet "standards", w3c dictates a lot of behavior and they are good general rules but not religion. Most big websites in fact do not validate there is no ROI on nitpicking. microsoft.com yahoo.com google.com I ran into one exception while checking sites, and that was IBM.com, now you will be saying "OH ibm can do it why can't you" well you will notice there front page is all static content (news is displayed through static swf), if you go to there troubleshooting page(first random page i clicked) you will notice it does not validate(I would like to know if there is a big website with dynamic,update content that does indeed validate). In short if something works use it if you have good enough reason to the contrary. “standard mongers”
