hmm i m not sure as to why want to use an API. W3's validator is merely a
web interface to OpenSP/OpenJade ( http://openjade.sourceforge.net/ ) . All
the validator does, is input the file to openjade, and display the output
from openjade as a HTML page.

This is pretty easy to do. I wrote a PHP script to do that . You can try
out the script @ http://validate.sf.net


Install OpenJade
Create a PHP script that can retrieve HTML data from URL, and send the HTML
to openjade,
and then take the output and display it as a web page.
