Exactly that happened to me as well, and not just once. Even though I'd 
already noted that these are just tips, not error messages, I keep 
misinterpreting them ("What! I know my page is okay. I do have... Oh, 
yeah, now I remember: They're just tips..."). Again and again. A bit 
annoying.

I think the tips should be removed. They belong in HTML tutorials. The 
Validator is a validator.
