Comment:
This ticket is 22 months old and the notebook has changed in that time,
but I think it is well worth fixing the W3C validation errors, for reasons
that are not so obvious.
When I look at the Wolfram Reserach site
http://www.wolfram.com/
and see 259 Errors, 4 warning(s)
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wolfram.com&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.654
it gives me the impression of not taking care of details. Wolfram Reserach
could reasonably argue they would rather devote time to improving
Mathematica, than fixing the web site. One can see some logic to that. But
I personally still see this as not paying attention to detail.
In contrast, the Sage web
site has few if any issues with the W3C validator. The home page is
faultless in this respect
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sagemath.org%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
As such, even if the notebook looks fine, I believe the errors should be
removed, to give the impression that attention is paid to detail.
A google search on 'W3C validator' shows 2,230,000 hits. It is obvious
people do use that tool.
