It would be nice to have favicons to indicate the status of a validation. As an
example of usage, I often validate multiple pages at a time. In Firefox I have
these open as multiple tabs, each with their own icon. It'd be good to be able
to scan along the list of tabs and immediately see any pages that haven't validated.

I was thinking something as simple as a red square (invalid) or a green square
(valid) would work, but ticks and crosses would do equally well.

Adding favicons is relatively easy - just add two link elements to the head of
the results template (one for minority browsers, one for IE):

<link rel="icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" />
