Well, while validation might not be seen as technically essential to accessibility, I'd say that this is still sound advice. Reason being, although when they say "accessibility" they are probably thinking of screen readers and users who can't use a mouse, accessibility also includes being able to access the information and basic functionality of a site in numerous browsing devices. Validation won't always get you that without a hitch, but it certainly puts you a long way towards that goal. Besides, since I'm assuming you'll be developing with standards in mind, it may as well be going into something that's standard. :) Not sure if any of that made any sense. It's been a long day.
