I think it's also worth thinking pragmatically about why you want to
validate everything. I mean, presumably the objective is to ensure the
widest possible browser support? In which case the fact that these .NET
additions don't validate surely doesn't matter as much as whether they
work corrrectly in all browsers? And I'm sure they must do, as it
wouldn't be remotely sensible for anyone to build a browser that
couldn't view ASP.NET websites, whether the pages are valid or not.
