Making such icons dynamically refreshed each time someone accesses the page would be technically trivial, and have been discussed on the www-validator list quite a few times, but would be too heavy on the services. I like your idea of having the icons being generated on post or by cron. If you want something triggered by a cron job, the Log Validator [1] can be used to send you a mail daily or weekly if you like - not *exactly* what you requested but fairly close.

The CSS and Feed services at W3C have very similar SOAP interfaces, with the one for the Markup Validator coming with next release. All three (will/do) come with at least a perl library to quickly build apps. http://validator-jp.w3.org/feed/docs/api.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2005Oct/0092.html (doc for CSS validator coming soon) Does that (even partially) answer your request?
