Valid pages in Cold Fusion? (Was Re:Doc Type Declarations)

Hi Ryan and list,
I guess my thought process was along the lines of an offline validator =
which checks the pages before I publish them.....So, yes, as it hits the =
browser, after the Fusion server plugs in the data and works its magic, it =
is valid HTML...so in the true scope of things I guess I will be fine.  =
But thanks for putting up my sleep deprived ramblings!

My understanding of Cold Fusion, however limited it may be, is that the
server parses the HTML file, replaces the "proprietary" tags with whatever
is supposed to go in their place.  I've seen *.cfm pages before and
haven't actually seen any proprietary tags in the source code.  From this
evidence, I think it's perfectly possible to generate valid pages in Cold
Fusion.  Are there any arguments that would say otherwise?
