I'm aware that it's an old debate, but it's still an issue without a resolution; at least in WCAG 2.0. We need to come up with something that we can get consensus on, which probably wouldn't be that difficult if we could find some middle-ground. The people that believe validity is important believe it with a passion, and those that don't believe it's important believe it with an equal passion. Consequently, the debates end up full of passion, which makes it difficult to focus on the real issues as they get swamped with edge-cases. How can we compromise? Are those against validity at level 1 also against it level 2? Could we live with a watered-down version of validity at level 1, and full validity at level 3? Could we live with validity being removed completely from the guidelines, and addressed in appropriate techniques? I think if we concentrate on these types of questions, with someone who feels indifferent about validity as an arbiter, we could make progress and reach our deadline with minimal disruptions.
