True, this is on the checklink TODO list, stay tuned. Part of the
functionality you requested is already in checklink, though it's command
line only for now:
-l/--location uri Scope of the documents checked.
By default, for
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/Overview.html
for example, it would be:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/

There has been some discussion about this on the list earlier. But as
long as the DTDs don't have real rules for that stuff, it can't be
validated, but is considered "lint"-like functionality. There are some
plans to provide this later, but most of the work on the validator is
targeted to validation at least for now.
