Lasnik does say that compliance isn't taken into account by Google when ranking but also: "...unless it is ... really bad HTML with lots of accidentally open tags..." Surely the easiest way of avoiding bad HTML is to check it for compliance? @Michael – Thanks for the posting the stonetemple.com link.

If starting a new site from scratch I would recommend XHTML Strict that validates and that takes into account the possiblity of being viewed on mobile devices.
