W3C errors

We build our website with you template. We are optimising the result but we face a lot of W3C errors.
Your own demo site has a lot of them. Example;
https://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/events/index.php/template/pages/articles/single-article
Just a single article has 3 W3C errors.

Most of them cannot be solved in the backend, but the PHP needs to be modified.
Do you have plans to make your templates W3C compliant?

W3C should never be treated explicitly. Its just a guide line. Those errors are because of xml language use for social elements like facebook or twitter.

I do not agree.
The contact page of this template:
https://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/events/index.php/template/pages/contacts
Has a code error:
The align attribute on the img element is obsolete (align="middle" )
This is wrong in the PHP.

I was referring to page you have mentioned. I have checked that one.
I'll post a suggestion to our devteam to check against w3c.

If you have more of them - please post links to demo server where you remember the errors were.

Some changes was fixed meanwhile and will be available with next template release.
Some of errors was caused not by our template but by core Joomla extensions (the page break validation errors comes from the system plugin).
