Well for example duplicate IDs, closing tags that don’t have anything to close, and some other stuff like that.

Its has to be valid for the HTML /CSS template but not necessary for the WP as wordpress is mostly generated code from shortcodes, visual editor etc.. which its not always valid!

@Ivor can you confirm what @wizylabs said? Do themes have to be W3C valid?

Some errors make no sense for example in an input tag it says it is missing a p attribute.

Hey thePhoenix,

an input element is an inline element, and needs to be in a block element. I believe a div would work just aswell.

I think he meant element – I don’t believe there is a p attribute.
