But whatever I try to validate it as, there are errors.
Does validation make any positive difference at all? I used to do it, but it prohibits things that are useful and work fine in practice* without offering much, if anything, in return. I've found that checking for well-formedness - that your tags are closed, attributes quoted, and entities encoded - is worth it, but the structure imposed by the doctype offers almost no help. * An example being custom attributes. The html5 validator will allow some of them, but the other ones won't.
