Nope.  But one noteworthy thing is that if the patch gets included as is, the 
needed file contexts are set on files in the /usr/share/w3c-markup-validator 
and /usr/share/w3c-markup-validator/cgi-bin directories, which are different 
from the validator's shipped defaults, and wouldn't thus affect them.

I see two things that could be done about this; either change the default 
installation paths of validator to match the above, and/or ask the SELinux 
folks to include the current default /usr/local/validator/[...] paths too 
after the first revision of the patch is in.

No strong opinions here, but FWIW, the /usr/share/w3c-markup-validator/[...] 
paths are used by the Fedora, Debian [0], and AFAIK openSUSE validator 
packages, ditto the rpm specfile included in the validator distribution.

[0] Except that in Debian, the "check" script is in /usr/lib/cgi-bin.
