The Importance of (X)HTML/CSS Validation

A couple of weeks ago, I've been thinking about the importance of a website having perfectly validated XHTML and CSS. I was creating a website design, and I had noticed that some CSS3 properties caused a few errors in the validation.

There are some benefits of having valid markup, such as some SEO benefits, and the more professional look of a valid website. It's also nice seeing that green bar when you run your site through the validator.

I used to think that the w3c validator was an absolute rule to follow, but it's actually just a guideline to follow to help to improve your code.
