Well, I guess that most of web developers are not validating with  
tools such as w3 validators, but more interesting, validating with  
different browsers...

My experience is that browsers succeed on standards-compliant
pages.  Standard compliance should be the first test.  If it
subsequently fails on a particular browser, it is a browser
defect which may or may not be of interest to the publisher.
