That is a slightly contentious statement.  But in any case, it's
not the point.

The W3C validator had, at some time in the past, told him his documents
were valid, *AND* invited him to advertise the fact with the badge.
Now it's pulled the rug from under his feet.  Supposing he only found
out when he presented his "standards-compliant" work to an important
Client?  Most embarassing!  And his fault is that he *trusted* W3C.

It also begs the question: "If I fix this, how do I know the same thing
won't happen again, with reference to some other aspect of my sites?"
