Told you. There won't be any true validators anymore since there won't be any DTDs.
So the validator will be based on the HTML spec instead, and change its rules whenever the spec changes? That might be OK, as long as the spec changes are backwards compatible. If not, I suspect both the spec and the validator will become irrelevant.

This verbose blah blah is what we'll have to put up with . Errors, mistakes or too hight ambitions aside. One of the reasons i'm not p*issing my pants over HTML5.
So how are we going to check for HTML syntax errors in the future (I'm not being sarcastic)? Perhaps we could use an HTML4 Doctype while validating, and just ignore all the resulting errors about unknown HTML5 elements. Or maybe write our own custom DTD with all the HTML5 elements included?
