I am very impressed with what looks like being a very useful tool. One thing that would be great, however, is if some effort could be put into making an html compliant web page, ie. one that passes the validator at http://validator.w3.org.

Totally agree with your remark Bludger. I am using EE for almost a year now, and am very satisfied, but a simple validator check on the gallery index produces not less than 172 (!) HTML validation errors.
Of course I can hand code corrections in the EE files, but I am just a bit too lazy to do this (especially because all corrections should be repeated after an EE version update).

Most errors are very easy to solve, the most common error are ampersands in PHP URL's not coded as & and browser specific attribute tags which can be easily be subsituted using CSS (e.g. MARGINWIDTH).

I would welcome XHTML Strict compliancy, but just HTML 4.1 compliancy should at least be possible I hope?
