When I submit the Primefaces show case pages to a XHTML validator (like http://validator.w3.org ) I see a lot of validation errors. Most are warnings that have to do with proper usage of the metatags and don't affect the result since most browsers handle these as expected. And I know this is quite common practice, as almost all HTML generators create bad (X)HTML. It should however be easy to correct all such errors in PrimeFaces, I think.

I do have 1 customer that insists that all pages must pass the XHTML validator or he won't pay me...

What is your view on this? Will PrimeFaces in the future comply with (X)HTML validation rules? Any plans to check this?

Regards, Paul.

Hi Paul,

We've done some work for better xhtml compatibility but it's not complete yet.

In near future, when we complete the tasks that have higher priority, improving rendered xhtml is in the plans for sure.
