Re: joomla.org does not validate!!!
Thanks for your feedback. We *are* aware we don't validate. And we *are* working on it. That's one of the reason I was brought on board last week 
The aim is to be WCAG Priority 2 compliant by version 1.2. xHTML (transitional) and CSS compliance are also in the book in the not too distant future.
There is a fair bit to fix in the code, and right now the priority is to get a first release of Joomla! going.
But we've established a plan of attack Hopefully it won't be too long before we have an engine that generates properly marked up and organised, semantically correct content. Once that happens, we're a good ways ahead. After that, well, we have to go through each content item (yikes!) and correct the "bad" markup produced by WYSIWYG editors. This is, as you can imagine, less of a priority. There always is a fight between users wanting the newest bestest version to be released yesterday, and users wanting to improve on what's already there, etc...
Come see us in the Standards, Usability & Accessibility forum, would love usable comments and discussions http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,142.0.html

Re: joomla.org does not validate!!!
It's getting worse instead of better. 
Can you at least fix the tag in demo.joomla.org which is supposed to be a tag?
I mean, it would be great if someone would also replace mosimage with a joomimage (or something that produces valid xhtml) so that you didn't have
s inside
s when you put an image in the page ... then at least the demo page would validate.

Re: joomla.org does not validate!!!
Hey, guys. There's no need to be so irritatingly insistent. I think everyone else understands the situation and being so reproachfully demanding is a bit uncomfortable for the rest of users (for me at least).
Let's give them a break.
All the best

Hmmm. I don't see a problem with the tag on demo.joomla.org. See for yourself (from the source of demo.joomla.org):
Code: Select all
<head>
<title>Joomla! Demo Site - Home</title>
<meta name="description" content="Joomla - the dynamic portal engine and content management system" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Joomla, joomla" />
<meta name="Generator" content="Joomla! - Copyright (C) 2005 Open Source Matters. All rights reserved." />
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://demo.joomla.org/images/favicon.ico" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<link href="http://demo.joomla.org/templates/rhuk_solarflare_ii/css/template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

The demo page (along with the entire joomla site, will validate when when joomla reaches the point of producing compliant output. I refer you to our accessibility statement for a better idea of what is going on: http://help.joomla.org/content/view/805/125/
@ ruben, thank you for your support.
Re: joomla.org does not validate!!!
No breaks from me. The rest of us have to do this work every time we do a website to please customers that want their sites to validate, so why shouldn't the Joomla 
team hear it from their customers?
Anyway, you're right, the tag was just an artifact of the "madeyourweb" theme ... so, sorry to bother you with that, the demo site validates now, except when it has a {mosimage} on it.
