XHTML 1.1
Having valid (X)HTML ensures that a website shows up consistently. It doesn't guarantee that it will look like you want it too, but it does ensure that coding errors are not the problem which can save a lot of time, especially when cross-browser testing. Having valid code is especially important for viewing on mobile devices that don't have the resources for a (X)HTML quirks mode.

CSS
The same ideas behind having valid (X)HTML code applies to having valid CSS too; it makes it easier on the developer and the user by having valid CSS.
