Valid code is very important for operability. In the WCAG 2.0 draft
valid code has been promoted from WCAG-AA tot the WCAG 2.0 equivalent of
WCAG-A.

Invalid code means that now a site never can be WCAG-AA conform:
Priority 2 Checkpoints :
3.2 Create documents that validate to published formal grammars.

I know somebody who collects all kinds of buttons/logos/icons that he
can find in websites, indicating that the site might be usable and/or
accessible. He already has so many that he probably can make a quartett
game of it.
