Completely irrelevant

Validation?

Bruno Pedro is at it again complaining of how all the top 20 technorati blogs fail W3C validation. I’m sorry, but how is this relevant? The validator is a tool for webdesigners to check their code during the development phaze, so that no critical errors that will fuck stuff up exist. Most errors on these top 20 blogs are the infamous entity error – they’ve simply forgot to escape & to & in URLs. This is in no way critical, does not affect the site in any way and most certainly is not something you have to complain about. Besides, people who validate websites they haven’t made have too much time on their hands.
