I don't care if it's valid. If I was being judged by the quality of my code, then yeah I would care, but it's not like anyone is really even going to look at it. Just the people trying to steal my design and why would I want to make it perfect for them?
I validated one of my sites recently and it was a pain in the ass.
It wouldn't let me do simple things like <form action="javascript: someFunction();">
but in the end I did find some advantages to it
for example, everyone that knows CSS knows the box model hack. But with xHTML, you don't need to do it anymore because both FF and IE interpret CSS boxes the same way.

With outside links (be it rss or affiliate) the biggest problem I have is using '&' in the url (as opposed to '&').
As mentioned, the vast majority of people won't even know what w3c validation is, much less care. So long as the spiders crawl it ok, itll work.

Just to add, I've had situations where I was having some small bugs (displays and such) and running it through the debugger actually helped me fix these. Sometimes I forgot to close a div or something similar, and validation helped me catch those types of things.
You wont get 100% valid code with affiliate links. Not yet anyway.
To the vast majority of web surfers out there, they don't care if a page/site validates or not they just care that when they go to a site it shows stuff for them to read and look at and doesn't look messy.
