As do I, and I put forward a significant effort towards correcting the
situation a few months back (search the archives, I was ranting all
over). At the end it looked like Miod was going to help with getting
some of it committed, but I believe he ended up getting a lot busier
than he had planned (?).

I can still lend some assistance, if there is a willingness from 
someone with commit access to commit HTML compliancy patches. I will
also do my best to keep the tree compliant as well, after it is done, 
but simply said, I can't do it without the patches being committed.

I just wish browsers were like compilers, they wouldn't even process
the code if it was full of errors. We would have a lot more HTML 
compliancy if that was the case.
