I dunno, maybe not. I imagine it would be confusing if it was possible
to call setCustomValidity() on an output element, but it just didn't
have any effect. It wouldn't be unreasonable for an author to expect
this to actually work.
But if it just raised an exception ("control does not support
validation") there probably wouldn't be a problem.
