It's possible to "trick" the validation service into thinking that a document is valid XHTML. Thanks indeed for your participation. The question is what is meant by "valid". The basic idea is that an XML document is valid if it conforms to the document type description, the DTD. As IFrame is not part of the XHTML doctype, just commenting it out to fool a validation tool, doesn't make it any more valid. However, if you make an instrumental interpretation, you might say that any document you can tweek to pass a certain validator test, is in fact valid. Being a bit hard core on the standards matter, I don't agree with the latter interpretation. That being said, I'll willingly admit that my blog does not validate so far. You do as you see fit of course - there's now law against presenting non validating web documents ;) Nice to see some discussion going on here.

As you can see in my post I nearly made it and then decide to take compleate control by drilling my own Flash badge. My problem was with the IFrame not being allowed in XHTML. How did you solve that? Thanks Todd!
