I notice a very interesting phenomenon: CSS is widely used, but
validation is not considered important, for either CSS or HTML, and I
don't think accessibility has been given a high priority either amongst
these pages.
Does anyone know why? Why have many of them made similar choices?
For a lot of people validity is difficult to grasp as an inherently
useful thing.
What doesn't help is that when these people ask standards-loving
communities why validation is so indispensable, the most enthusiastic
advocates often don't have legitimate reasoning - e.g. the most common
answer I get given is that Google penalises invalid pages in search ratings.
If you're primarily concerned with looks, and are making a website
that's unlikely to be handled by anyone else without your express
guidance (and that you understand completely, of course), valid coding
will often be a bonus nicety rather than a pre-requisite.
As for valid CSS, I completely sympathise with those who reject it out
of hand.
