The benefits are the same as for HTML:
* If something goes wrong, you know it isn't a syntax error
* A syntax error that doesn't exist can't cause a problem in a browser
outside your test suite
* When a syntax error does cause a problem, the validator will help
you find it without flooding the report with lot of errors you decided
you don't care about
* When someone else runs a validator over your code, their opinion
won't be lowered by a collection of error messages
* When someone else joins your team or takes over the project, they
won't have to learn your stylesheet language, they can just use CSS.
