It is interesting to hear about W3C from Matt Cutts, a chap working at Google and answering questions about search engines optimisation.
Most of the websites, including Google, don't respect W3C standards. And there is no "direct" relation between W3C compliance and search optimisation or browsers compatibility.
I am sure that Google can aford the best front-end designers in the world... and I always find it amusing to see in front-end designers or in quotes**: produce 100% W3C compliant XHTML code.
This is a great objective to strive for 100% W3C compliant code, but can hardly be a requirement for complex dynamic sites.
** I must admit that I put this in proposals myself, when I know that:
1) it is achievable (semi-static sites)
2) it will re-assure the client who has been told that validation is mandatory for quality websites..
I just hope that the distribution of this video will help destroying this myth.
