Of course I am not talking about crawlability, but simply one website having valid code and one not having valid code with all other items being equal.

Still I will look to limit validation errors just from a design perspective as Webnauts suggests.
Jaan do you want to say here that editing this <title="Northern Cyprus Hotel Manolya"></title> is the same as editing <title>Northern Cyprus Hotel manolya</title>, and that both cases would be be treated or weighted equal by search engines?

Then I guess I never understood software development and semantics. And if that is the case, then I feel ashame.

Embarrassed!
