Hi, search this forum for answer, I have explained it here.

There are two ways how to produce html/css:

- design which will be displayed on most of the browsers the same way, which means SEO + (most of visitors will view the site correctly - this is very important for SEO. For such design you cannot follow validation rules

or

- design which will follow validation rules but in fact you cannot use modern html or css techniques, and you cannot use e.g. hacks for IE, etc. which in fact causes negative inpact on SEO

Phoca Gallery and Phoca extensions are built for users and should be displayed for visitors not for machines, which brings positive outcomes in SEO (robots don't like sites built for machines) but of course if you want to have validation strict site, just customize the output to not use modern methods and hacks for IE e.g. - just edit Phoca Gallery CSS and templates of it.

components/com_phocagallery/assets/ ... css files
components/com_phocagallery/views/ ... /tmpl/default.php etc.
