The revised wording (“This validator checks the Markup Validity of Web
documents in HTML, XHTML, SMIL, MathML, etc.”, from v0.8.0-dev) is acceptable
to me.

I wonder why “Markup Validity” is in titlecase. (I won’t report the
casing as a separate bug, nor will I reopen this bug report.) Given that the
phrase is not a proper noun, the norms of the English which I learned as my
mother tongue call for lowercase. I believe that lowercase “markup
validity” is appropriate in most, if not all, varieties of English.

The lone nit aside, I congratulate you, Olivier, for satisfying yours truly.
