Yes I’m aware of compliance issue. Unfortunately to make WP compliant I would have to go with bare bones and loose functionality. As you have stated and seen yourself most of the errors come from plugins coding and while it can be addressed perhaps one plugin at the time - next time they are updated by author due to some issue been fixed, or whatever reason and we are back to square one …

I have learned that with most sites based on a script that dynamically generates content from database you either have to learn to leave with non-compliant site or spend your days attempting to reach that status. I much rather concentrate on producing content and do what I do best …

have been working hard to get xhtml validation errors out of my web 2.0 system blog … i started with over 500, got down to zero after painstaking esits to the code (plugins are the main culprit, but there are also bugs in WP2.3.1 that are ‘xhtml 1.o transitional’ non-compliant). main effects of errors are lack of compatibility with some browsers, annoying database glitches, and some plugins simply don’t work with others.

my errors are now up to around 20-50 on various pages after recently loading some new plugins for added features. also, I had to remove some of the plugins you recommend since they created significant errors. the language translator one needs work on the html tags in quotes in the php code, but can be made compliant with about 30mis work.

this page has 500+ and I feel most are from plugins that are not xhtml 1.0 trans compliant

offered in good faith…and in the interests of all web 2.0 wealth system supporters

cheers,
