[theme-reviewers] theme-reviewers Digest, Vol 7, Issue 49. Validation and errors in the test data

[internet pers]

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...

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.

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...
