I would say, cautiously, that since the current html clients are rather
fault tolerant (i.e. ignore tags they don't understand), that to put it in
would not hurt accessibility or functionality (if they can't see it and
use it you can't control that functionailty so you are left with the
default). It would, however, perhaps not validate perfectly which is not a
good thing, but currently is a necessary evil for small exceptions (do TRY
to conform to the XHTML specs though).

Also, though, I would recommend reading the links (earlier message), if
you are technically responsible for something you are obligated to TRY to 
find the time to understand the philosophies, technicalities and 
exceptions that go with managing and coding pages.
