In XHTML, being valid (or at least well-formed) is an architectural constraint: you can't fail to do it and still be usable in any form. It's as useless to require it in WCAG as it is to require in a building accessibility document that front doors aren't built 20 feet off the ground. That said, it's well in scope for ATAG 2, since it's the only way we know that the final output will be rendered no matter how the server is configured. - mReceived on Tuesday, 26 July 2005 01:41:41 GMT
