I'd rather not confuse my users who are trying to validate the HTML in their wiki text with noise from the platform. I don't control the validator, but I think it's a useful tool to incorporate on my web-site. Maybe there should be a setting for 'strict html' which leaves out features that services like validator.w3.org don't accept.
