Do you validate your CSS? (Discussion)

Do you validate your CSS? Does it even matter as long as your style sheets are well-formed? Thoughts?

I usually validate every so often, just to check things out. My style sheets aren’t completely valid due to custom behaviors, &c.., however, they are semantically correct. Which means they should be compatible with any CSS parser.

I usually only validate my html, honestly. I just use the standard W3C Validator. It does CSS too, so I should probably use it!

I use Sass, which always outputs well-formed CSS, I do occasionally run things through the CSS validator just to make sure my property values are in check, but I don’t find it as necessary anymore.

Yea, I’m also addicted to SASS. Coding plain old CSS feels wrong to me now. And I couldn’t live without the reusable blocks!

I, normally, use to create my CSS files with a little help from “css cheat sheets”. And they 99% are well written, but I every pass them by the CSS validator to confirm.

My Html files also pass by the markup validator… Sometimes e can forget a slash or an ending tag…
