If the HTML is not valid, their internal indexing programs
have a harder time deciding relevance?

My approach has always been that it's as easy to write valid HTML
as kluged HTML, and it gives my sites the advantage of being universally
accessible by any HTML user agent (robot, text-reader, or graphics browser).
