Is valid html on www.openbsd.org important?

Hi,
have a look at this:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.openbsd.org/index.html
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.openbsd.org/39.html
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.openbsd.org/plus39.html
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.openbsd.org/plus.html

Fixing index.html is easy (patch is appended), but fixing 39.html is
hard, as the author apparently has a very lax view of markup seems not
to want css. I've tried, but I'm giving up. :-(

The errors in plus* can be easily fixed by using tidy, but this adds
"cruft", which Theo doesn't like. I've submitted a patch before (pr
5117), but the unescaped & are still added.

So I'm wondering: Is valid html/css one goal of OpenBSD (and if, what
is done to ensure it) or does nobody care?

Best
   Martin
