Congratulations!
If it really takes two years to make a site W3C compliant, it's time to ignore the bastards and post sites which simply appear on peoples' browsers.
I've nothing against standards compliancy, but the standards should be logical and easily implemented. Something like the good old BASIC language where if there was a logical error, a program simply wouldn't run. Interpolating that into web standards, if something is too irregular or convoluted, it wouldn't show up.
