Better to ask whether themes are W3C compliant: http://drupal/org/themes.
You can pick one that is W3C compliant - or rather: where the theme engine and the theme produce W3C compliant code - or if it is not, you can make it so yourself.

Hope this helps

figaro is correct. Whether Drupal serves compliant XHTML or not depends on the theme.

Here's a link for running one of Drupal's core themes through the W3C validator:

    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://pushbutton.theme.drupaler.net/

As you can see, the pushbutton theme validates.

i tried marvin theme on http://webxact.watchfire.com and it failed on AA and AAA, even though its supposed to be AAA

i was using news items on my home page so i think its the STORY module rather than the theme, as marvin is supposed to be AAA, these were the faults

Priority 1 passed:

Priority 2 error.
13.1 Do not use the same link phrase more than once when the links point to different URLs.

Priority 3 errors.
5.5 Provide a summary for tables. (page module, rather than the added content)
10.4 Include default, place-holding characters in edit boxes and text areas. (login box)
10.5 Separate adjacent links with more than whitespace.

could be me of course....anyone else had this problem?....its not a complaint by the way, just an observation

Djax: this is useful information and thanks for collecting it; may I suggest you open an issue with these observations to the Marvin project for resolution?
