I've been checking the Google cache of my pages and seeing some errors that are automatically "patched" by IE/Firefox/Opera. Just thought I'd mention it.

If you use absolute positioning, then the cache display will often be very bad -- because the Google note at the top of the cache page changes the pixel position of the "top" of the page. Just thought I'd mention that one.

What kind of errors are you finding via the cache?

Also with the Google cache there is extra markup inserted at the top of your page, meaning that if you are using a doctype to invoke standards compliance mode then the Google code will switch you back into quirks mode. This can break many CSS-P layouts. The cache breaks more than it fixes, in my experience.
