Some will advice that validation is not important. And they're right -
if accessibility is not important. (if it won't validate it probably
won't render - and hence limit the audience).

Please do - I'm sure somewhere there is a developer who will thank you
for agreeing with the advice they gave management - which was
subsequently ignored.

You might also try spoofing a different user-agent to see if the site
renders properly then. e.g.:- Chris Pederick's "User Agent Switcher"
Firefox/Iceweasel extension.
Note that HTML5 has only very recently become a standard, and that many
websites that use "HTML5" don't conform with that standard.
Perhaps if you posted the relevant URL we could offer more useful advice.
Apologies if this advice has been repeated elswhere by those who "can't
be bothered/don't know how to" *not* break threads (sigh) I caught
"GoLinux's" post but may have missed others.
