Call it a broken feature if you like:

This is a FAQ, bill. Dozens of ASP.net coders before you have hit this issue,
and fixed their engine to produce valid markup, even when sent to the
validator. I trust you can do the same.

You are contradicting yourself. Indeed, the validator just validates markup. If
given invalid markup, it will mark it as invalid, without any consideration of
markup. The fact that asp.net (or any other tool) sends invalid markup is not
the validator's problem.
