I would provide specific links to:
BOBBY (Cast) Accessibility checker
LYNX text Browser page
WDG (Web Design Group) HTML Validator
W3C CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) Validator
Viewable in any Browser Campaign page
Web Standards Now ("WASP") page
W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines page
A broken links checker page (such as W3C's)

Are you aware this page doesn't validate in either the W3C or WDG validators?
Only one error for sure (line 246 - erroneous "p" end tag) that is easily
correctable -- but if you are writing about the importance of validation you
must be sure your own pages are "squeaky clean".
General suggestion:
Why not write your exemplar pages in XHTML 1.0 -- the current W3C
recommendation -- and display their validation icon?
General comment:
I could not get several of the hyperlinks on your article page to work.
Best regards,
James Pickering
