You said "valid" not "acceptable".

And acceptable to whom? Browsers? Search engines? Which browsers?  
Which search engines? For how long? What about new ones that haven't  
been created yet?

Writing standards compliant code reduces the chance of a user agent  
failing to compensate for your errors.

I, OTOH, don't take Yahoo! or Google too seriously.

I don't recall seeing any errors in the report on your page that would  
be acceptable in HTML5.

If you don't want to have a discussion, then don't start or  
participate in one of them. Demanding to have the last word isn't a  
debate winning strategy.
