Formatting/validity

The main point here, as I have stated in an email to Blogger, is that for the first time (I think) Blogger has started publishing code on to people’s sites outside of the user’s control. I regard this as a seriously retrograde step. So far, the support on the Blogger site fails to grasp this issue. I don’t want a workaround that will allow my site to look right notwithstanding the new code that Blogger is inserting onto my site. I want to retain control of my own site. If Blogger will no longer allow me to decide what is published to my site, it’s a sad day, because I’ll have to find an alternative content management solution that will. Which I really don’t want to do, being lazy.

I’m not trying to sound like a whining ingrate here. If Blogger decides that it needs to go this way for the users that it wants to support going forward, that’s obviously a decision for it. But I don’t think that this approach is going to work for me.
