8840	Making 'HTML validation and correcting' optional	Mathias Aeschlimann		"I am told that CKEditor has a HTML validator that is supposed to find invalid markup and try to correct. While this may be a nice thing to have in certain cases, the inability to suppress it, is a big, big, big annoyance. 
Even more as the validator is ignorant to the doctype and therefore makes wrong assumptions. I just have a case where I wrapped an <a>
around a <div> and now CKEditor tries to 'correct' that, as it mistakenly deems it invalid.

HTML validation and correcting should really be optional. And it should be displayed to the user what spec(s) it is checking against if turned on.
