Same constatation for other three notable skins: "Fully CSS driven, is valid XHTML, for those that care about such things." [3], [4] and [5] but the pages created by the skin author himself all three fail to validate. [6], [7] and [8]. I would NEVER call that praetentious[9], incompetent or even "ridiculous" :-D. Whatever it is, if those and other skins could be corrected, I feel they should be.
