At the moment I have one plug-in that is misbehaving when rewriting parts of the HTML stream for Google Analytics tracking - trying to get that resolved with the author...

Very very few components sourced through open source of commercially produce compliant output and it really winds me up. Even if your site is AAA, soliciting user input results in non-compliance: http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/program.x/archive/2008/03/23/semantic-web-2-0-user-generated-content-is-difficult-to-achieve.aspx And Google is amongst the worst offenders. Relying on Javascript and IFrames (which themselves are security holes) to insert Adwords, Blog excerpts, Picasa feeds, and the rest. Mash-ups are truly Mashed XHTML thanks to lack of respect for basic standards. My blog doesn’t validate because I use Community Server.
