<div>Yet we are supposed to write valid xhtml, this means closing them tags! HTML 5 is very nice but not supported yet. So we use validation as a tool nothing more to find those typo's and whatever. But the testdata should be good no matter what, does it hurt to put in that slash and help thoose developpers with one error less...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The same goes for the embedded, the test link is pointing to removed material (copyrighted stuff) futher more embed is not in the standard, again the work arround is easy.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It will help themebuilders in bughunting, when building for clients these errors and not validating will bring lots of trouble. It's pretty difficult to build a working theme. A clean test set that validates is the least we can do, people are judged by it... </div>
