The validators themselves tell you that they have limitations. A

I think Philippe covered the validity-points pretty well.
It all comes down to how closely any developer wishes to adhere to
standards and how much of a purist anyone is when it comes to correct
coding ;)
Oh, we can paste a valid example from the standards into a validator,
and it may choke on it. So much for limitations. Think someone will have
to purify the standards and the validators a bit more, before we
announce purity based on them.
Standards are pretty useful tools - when browsers adhere to them. Maybe
they will - one day.
