@cwebber once upon a time a friend was making a web-site and she remarked with frustration that it looked fine but it kept falling the w3c validator (or maybe the validator was just offline for the time being or something like that i forget exactly) and i shared with her one of the most important webdev secrets i know: you don't actually have to have valid html to put the little badge on your website, you can just do it anyway

@cwebber also you don't need </body></html> the browser will figure it out and it just takes up 14 precious bytes anyway
