I've been asked to provide a solid reason why my css doesn't validate
and I wanted other opinions on this.

Using the conditional comment method, to provide older browsers with
the correct styles, makes maintainance, and cascading styles more
difficult to manage.

w3c blog has this to say about their oocss site [http://www.w3.org/
Help/about-redesign#limitations]:
"Because of known interoperability issues, we have accepted to use CSS
that does not validate with the CSS validator. Over time we hope to
evolve towards valid CSS."

http://www.webstandards.govt.nz/technical/, only has this to say about
stylesheets:
"Stylesheets. Sites must work properly (be navigable, present
information intelligibly) with stylesheets disabled."

It doesn't say that the css must validate, it just says that the site
must work correctly without css.

I can't find any mention of css validation in the WCAG2.0 (AA)
Guidelines either.

What is our stance on css validation?
