Maybe you'll say validating webpages, websites or weblogs is very important.
But in fact, currently, we don't need a (World Wide Web Consortium; W3C) standard.
What is the main purpose of a website/weblog?
Websites were intended to be accessible to everyone. Universal access.
Extensible HyperText Markup Language (X/HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) validation and Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) test of some popular websites (search engines, news portals, blog &
CMS, operating systems & distros, browsers) are listed here.
