You don't get them because you're not the boss of me, or anyone else for 
that matter, and nobody has agreed to your criteria but you.

I have already outlined a number of ways in which valid code can be 
inaccessible, which I recap here in handy list form:

- Non-semantic HTML (<b> or <font> instead of <h*>, <br> and * instead 
of lists)
- Missing metadata (<caption>, <tbody>)
- Missing functional code (<noframes>, frame titles)

If you can't find three examples of each of these in a day's worth of 
browsing, I'll eat my hat and both of my shoes.

And that's just the stuff that's inside the angle brackets. Being valid 
doesn't help any of it.
