This is not using CSS in the sense that I understand it. Will this approach to
generating the html allow the user flexibility with respect to the validation
level he or she chooses. I don't think so. And to foist off these embedded
style issues on another tool such as Tidy is, in my view, poor design and
fraught with risk.
