It appears that SE ranking doesn’t account for validation so what you do now may not be that important, however I see plenty of reasons how W3C validation could have something to do with page relevance when performing a search.

Say I am a Mac Safari user searching for nuclear physics websites. Google will return a number of results in the order of calculated relevance for that particular wording I used. However, considering valid code, why would an invalid site polluted by (for example) IE specific css, obsolete tags, etc which have a fair chance of making the content unreadable for me, be considered relevant for me? The SE has all the information pertaining to the client app I am using, therefore it could (and should) filter out (and consequently disconsider) results that would not work for me.

If Google’s goal is to take care of user experience, they should take this in consideraton, as they seem to take in consideration the speed of the site now.
I realise google does not use information like provided by alexa ( time spent on the site, average page per user ) that’s what make me think that google can improve their results and user experience a lot, and if google does not do that, someone else will do that. Remmeber that Altavista was THE search engine, no one would have predict that they would disappear from the landscape.
Make good valid website is important, and does not take so many time of work as one wrote it just above. 2 hours and you can check your errors. I fell from 130 erros to 0 on the homepage
