The same might be said about speeding, Ed, but it is still
against the law. If a page does not render as the author
intended, then his/her first recourse should be to re-validate
the page and ensure that it is W3C-conformant w.r.t. the
declated DOCTYPE. If it is not, then his/her second recourse
is to correct the errors, and if that still does not work,
then to seek advice from others. The real problem is not
that "many minor errors do not matter", it is that page
authors are either to lazy or too ignorant to validate their
pages before wasting others' valuable time.

I might agree with you but too much of the original context has been omitted so
I
can't quite figure out what we're talking about
Do "errors matter?" Well, not always, but it is a good exercise
in best-practice code and it gives you some confidence that your
web page(s) will work on almost all browsers and devices.
At any rate I'm glad I started this thread; I'm grateful to all
those who helped clarify the situation; and I'm pleased to report
that my HTML generator now produces "strict" html.
