But I don't regard either check as the final arbiter of what goes into the a document. If I write about the Sheraton Centre in New York, for example, my (US) spell checker tells me that "Centre" is misspelled. Still, I see no need to "correct" the spelling since the sign on the complex spells it that way. In the same way, I don't hide proprietary CSS from the validator in order to "pass" validation. I don't see the point, as the document gets the "invalid" code anyway. Likewise, if you need to "hack the dead," what's the difference between using a leading underscore and using the "star html" aka. Tan hack? (And since when has the universal selector been invalid?) Yes, the underscore does not validate, while the Tan hack does. So what?
