1. On a scale of 1-10, how important is W3C validation?
XHTML: 10+ (regardless of MIME type)
HTML: 8 (but it depends on what lowers its importance from a 10)
CSS: 10 (until IE/win needs its fixes, and weak standard-support must be
solved by non-standard workarounds)
2. How does one convince folks that it is important?
One just tell them that there _are_ standards. Apart from that one maybe
shouldn't try very hard unless they ask.
Many won't ask until they run into too many problems caused by
non-standard they can't "solve" on their own. Then maybe a 'cleaned-up'
example, one that works, will have most convincing-force.
3. Is valid code important to SE?
Probably not all that important, but I don't think it'll hurt.
4. Does it follow, that those who don't care about validation also
don't consider accessibility?
Those who don't care, don't care - period.
Many are probably more or less ignorant about both issues, and may, or
may not, bother to do anything about their ignorance until a certain
pressure, or need, is present.
