The job of the Search Engines is not to enforce the standards of W3C. But "the one hand washes the other, and both hands wash the face".

The job of the search engines is to gather information from the web and to provide us the opportunity to search and find it.

If we did not have W3C markup languages, we would have not be able to provide search engines with that information.

If there were no web designers to create web sites with those W3C technologies, search engines would not exist either.

Therefore, if all above were missing, we would all not be here at WPW either. :)

Am I still not clear enough?
