Absolutely. Just as valid HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.1, etc, are written without
tools today*. Our company standards allow only enhanced editing features
like color syntax highlighting and user-defined macros. No WYSIWYG, no
"smart completion". IMO, more resources are expended fixing invalid "help"
in the markup than are expended just writing it correctly the first time
around. So we do.

talking about Authoring Tools (Dreamweaver, et al) here.
