@chesama:
Modernizr only takes a couple of milliseconds to run (the goal was to keep it below 20ms on your average computer of today), so the "extraneous stuff" is pretty minimal. Also, the library is only 6kb in compressed form, so that's not much of a reason to try and cut pieces out.
@Matias:
First of all, the reason you should use HTML5 and CSS3 is precisely _because_ they're not finished yet. That way, you can give the spec writers and the browser vendors crucial feedback. Otherwise, you're just being passive and not helping the Web move forward (this is also why they have the vendor prefixes).
Secondly, validation is not a goal to strive towards. It is a tool, useful to help you debug issues in browsers. If you strive for validation, you're not doing it right: you should always strive for good user experiences, high maintainability and great performance. Validation can help get you there, but in and of itself it is an utterly worthless goal to have.
