It's on the TODO list, and not particularly difficult to implement (moderately work intensive, but not really difficult), but the overhead would be significant. This is also why you can't just have the Validator return an image indicating "Valid/Not Valid" (serves a similar purpose as the requested feature). OTOH, nothing stops you from using URLMinder to do just that. Nick Kew also provides this exact feature (for a small fee IIRC) in Site Valet at <URL:http://valet.webthing.com/>. Highly reccomended! I think Nick is even on this list in connection with adding WAI-related features to Site Valet. :-) BTW, There is a mailinglist for the W3C HTML Validation Service where feature requests should probably be sent (or at least copied) to make sure they get picked by the right people. See <URL:http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/> for details.
