Google is launching its own web browser. Why?  To reassure the user that
the web sites are conforming (and hence safe)! This sounds like a big step
forward for W3C to me. - Rick

One popularity measure (among many) is Alexa. It has some caveats, but
in January I had the validator run through 487 of its Global Top 500
list. 32 of those URLs passed validation (6.57%). That is actually
considerably higher than the average pass rate I found with the
majority of the Open Directory Project URLs (DMoz). I have a complete
list of those Alexa 500 that validated, but of the ones you mentioned,
only msn.com passed validation.
      
How about a web page where you Post that complete list - with numbers of
errors?
    

Here it is:

Feedback, comments and questions can be made in the blog's comment thread
or here too if they are validator-on-topic.
