Regardless, it may be "valid html" but I would argue that it'll be very
"overcomplicated" HTML, and thus very inefficient.

Somebody at some stage might want to maintain it, too - have you tried to
manually edit "generated HTML"?  In most cases I've found it  impossible to
fathom.

Can you provide some links to some of your sites with this "generated"
HTML, so that we can establish whether it's actually worth considering or
whether our advice (ie. to LEARN (x)HTML) is the right advice.
