Why would visitors to your site want to validate it instead of read it?
What if you make a change which accidentally breaks your valid page, so
it becomes like 95% of the other web pages out there. Do you still want
visitors to check that your code is no longer valid?
Yes you are proud of your achievement, but visitors are there for the
content, not to validate your page. And if they do wish to validate your
page they can do so without the silly icon. Really isn't the validator a
developer tool, not a web surfers tool?
