Oy people might think I don't like Zeldman, but I do I do. Today he points to this article on the state of validation among the W3C members. A demonstrable fact, most of their sites don't validate. Given this fact you could come to a conclusion about the intentions of the members of the W3C, as Zeldman does. Or, you could come to a different conclusion. For 10 points, give me an alternate theory on why these sites don't validate.
