Google is one of the offenders, and probably the biggest since they have the most codeblocks floating around out there on other people's sites. But there are others that are just as bad. Most adserver services generate abominable copy/paste code. Google should be the leader here but others should also be paying attention. I've been happy to see that Yahoo is making the move to compliance, albeit slowly. Maybe they'll beat Google out in this instance.
Might I suggest that folks who do design and experience this problem should post urls here where the code they've created is compliant but where the added code from other sources, such as Google, creates errors in validation? This might help point to the problem, in a more dramatic way.
