Blogging tool required for standards compliant web pages
A programmer I know has a website that is fully standards compliant. It uses the fully validated Unicode XHTML 1.1 with CSS. No frames, no tables, and no JavaScript.
It would like to be aimed at a blogging tool that does not require any particular database system or web server, but creates static pages that meet the above standards and best practices, and is itself a professionally finished native Windows application.
... and it should also be able to create an RSS feed.
Is there anything that comes close to this?

I have never heard of a standalone Windows professional application that acts as a blog HTTP server. I think your best bet is something like WordPress with a nice, standards-compliant theme (they exist) and some blog update (I know they exist and WordPress supports them, although I used Linux alone ) ...
It might be worth examining the MetaWeblog for the Windows application part if you decide that a separate standalone program does not exist that suits your needs.

I wonder why you don't want it to use the database, I can't think of any blogging mechanism that doesn't use it. It prevents you from changing all of your static files if you replace one thing in your template for example.
WordPress is arguably the easiest to set up and easy to integrate with Windows desktop clients like Windows Live Writer ( http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/ )
