Yes, but there is a big difference between random web pages not validating and an epub not validating. This is especially ridiculous, considering that Adobe is a major member of the IDPF that created epub. And I think that web site that I listed uses Adobe validation code on the back end.
HTML has evolved over the years and is very forgiving of bad coding. The epub standard is recent and strictly defined. Non valid epub documents and sloppy rendering on the reader side will only serve to make a mess of epub, just like the web. A standard is no good if no one follows it.
If Buzzwords is going to create non-valid epubs, then they should at least run it through the validator so you can fix things yourself if you are so inclined. At least this way you know what you have, and not assume that you have a good epub when you don't.
Shame on Adobe. Shame, shame.
