So? The validator isn't an artificial intelligence, it can only
compare a given document to the rules. It can't tell that you forgot a
" character. 

<div style="font: 1.1em/1.2 Arial;><img src=" is perfectly OK under
HTML DTD rules.  It can only report on where you deviate from the
rules expressed in the DTD, it can't tell you when you've made a
mistake which isn't (and couldn't be) expressed in the DTD.
