I need help validating WordPress tags for www.bluesparc.com

Al though I have been using WordPress in several websites for quite some time I have never been able to get my sits to validate XHTML mostly due to errors found in the WordPress ID tags. If anyone here could take a look at my code, and my validation it would be much appreciated. The website I am currently working on is http://www.bluesparc.com. I am currently running WP 1.2 on this site and understand that some code will not validate due to unconventional tags. I am mostly interested in getting my WP specific tags to validate (which have unconventional names, and spaces in their code). Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Here are some examples of my problem: <h2 class="storytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
