Although I'm a strong believer in writing good HTML and validating it --
all of my pages display the "Valid XHTML 1.0" logo -- I don't think
displaying the Unicode Savvy/Compliant/Whatever logo should depend on
having otherwise perfect HTML.

A page may be encoded in error-free UTF-8 and display a wide range of
characters, combining marks, etc., but may have a <table> or <meta> or
tag-nesting error.  That page may not be valid (X)HTML, but it is
perfectly good Unicode.  Unicode validation is not W3C validation.

If you write your page in error-free Unicode *and* pass the W3C
validator, you get to display both logos.
