Be conservative in what you generate and be liberal in what you accept is a
time honored net.rule that applies here.

The main reason that I validate my documents is to ensure their long lifespan
and to ease any future format translations, not to ensure that all browsers can
render them.  We Mosaic die-hards know that not all browsers can render all
documents.
