I expect some of these pages started out as valid, but changes have been
made, and the page owner forgot to re-check the page. I've done that
occasionally myself when I've been rushing and only making small changes -
major changes get checked before they are loaded to the website - so I do
occasional "spot checks" on individual pages, and fix any oversights I
find. Can't really speculate beyond that, since, like you and Sue, I can't
figure out why anyone would want to put the logo on their page unless the
page did, in fact, validate.

All of the pages on my website - URL below - validate, and carry the linked
logo so visitors - should they feel so inclined :-) - can check for
themselves.
