When art wp themes going to validate? There are some small errors always. I havent try newest version, but if I look for example this page, in footer is W3Cxhtml validation button - what you guess, how many errors and warnings?
Ok, they are not big errors, but its not valid and thats it.

Sometime these errors are due to installed plugins, I have tried validating Artisteer generated themes on fresh Wordpress installations and it just validates without any errors.

Garry is correct. With every template/theme I have generated for a website or WordPress using Artisteer 2.2 and 2.3, both the CSS and XHTML have validated. .
While it has been my experience that Artisteer templates and themes validate "out of the box," subsequent content additions or stylesheet modifications can cause validation errors. With a WordPress blog, certain plugins and comments can cause problems.
Below is a link to a sample WordPress blog using a theme generated with Artisteer 2.2. The CSS should validate as Level 2.1 and the XHTML should validate as 1.0 Transitional.

Here's my opinion on validation...
I don't run my themes through the available validators anymore to see if they'll pass. It's generally just depressing because it usually finds something wrong. Especially if you've got your site set up with all the plugins and stuff you need. I might run it through a validator to try and find out why my theme doesn't look right in IE, but only as a last resort.
I have the top browsers, Firefox, IE, Opera, Chrome & Safari installed. If it looks good in those browsers then it validates as far as I'm concerned. I also don't expect my site to be a pixel for pixel match in every browser brand. As long as it looks good, everything is where it should be and doesn't break the layout, I'm happy.
Your IE site visitor isn't going to care if what they're looking at is shifted to the left by 3px compared to FF. As long as they can get the info they want and purchase your product with the least amount of trouble then life is good.
