'Cause a bunch of the WYSIWYTYG tools started adding an XHTML
(Transitional) doctype. A large majority of the page-assemblers using
these tools don't even know what it is, or in fact that it is even
present in their code.

Just fuck right off and read the whole post, not the partial quote of
it (reasonable snip though that was, in context).

People have interpreted your apparently odd question in different ways,
and here's yet another interpretation: If you have verified the validity
of an XHTML document, using a locally installed validator or a remotely
hosted validator other than the W3C validator, then yes, validation has
been carried out and you don't need to use the W3C validator.

The crucial question, however, is whether you have actually used a
validator or something else. There are even people who make money by
selling their software as "HTML validator" even though it isn't a
validator.
