Jyte is not W3C standards compliant :(

does it really matter?

That's a question which is open to a lot of debate. But in practice, yes.

Who cares? Jyte works in every browser I've used it in. Its browser compatible, thats the whole point of making websites! And its a great website! they should be proud even if a computer somewhere says it doesn't like the way they did something.

And in the real world the validators are optional debugging tools. They are there to help developers figure out why their site isn't working in a certain browser, and nothing more. I'm so sick of the 'validated' status symbol, its as ridiculous as wearing Nike shoes to be cool.

The facts are, I write in xhtml, using css, but I don't touch the validators unless I stumble upon a problem I can't figure out, and neither should anyone else who isn't aiming to build all but the most universally compatible of websites.

That last sentence is confusing, my intention is to say that people shouldn't use a validator unless they're just starting out learning a language, or trying to build something guaranteed to work completely and with every available feature in every browser, though once again in the real world that guarantee doesn't exist, leading back in to… validators are debugging tools and nothing more!
