I think W3C's answer to that is "until vendors produce authoring tools that conform to ATAG." If my understanding of Italian law is correct, it is conformance to ATAG 1.0 that puts that requirement on authoring tool vendors, not WCAG. And until the majority of tools in the market _do_ produce valid content at all times, Web content producers are not equipped to be held to that same standard. If you are concerned that validity is important enough to be considered a basic requirement for your government's policy, then you can add it to WCAG conformance in any laws you propose. - m
