Well, I'd say so.  I mean, if it's not valid, it won't pass the 
validators, will it?

When I write some pages, I don't bother to validate them before
putting the logo on -- I know that my templates are valid, and the
content I code is most likely valid, so I don't test each one before
posting in some cases.  I mean, I'm not going to go wrong adding
<P>s in or whatever usually, so why bother?

The risk of this carelessness, of course, is that someone will later
discover I left off the closing tag for a STRONG element or something,
and my code isn't valid, and they'll write to me and laugh at me.  So
my laziness is dangerous in that sense.  But I don't think you HAVE
to validate a page before putting the W3C logo on -- you just
SHOULD.
