I'll tell you who's to say that: The W3C consortium. There is an OFFICIAL
HTML standard,
and the validators should check against the official standard. Browsers
should implement
this standard, and they have done so in the past. (Upto a certain point.)

IMO, Having HTML that conforms to the official standard(s) gives you the
least chance of
errors in the future.

Sander - Who has never used a validator in his life - :)
(Hey, I did read the official HTML4.0 & CSS specs!)
