Their published FAQ on the differences between validators http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/differences.html says that they don't use the W3C Validator source, therefore, IMO -- no it wouldn't be wise to do so. Their programming techniques may very well be up to par with the W3C version, but then again, they might overlook something, or not be as fine tuned as the W3C version (which isn't to say it's perfect, but it's "straight from the horses mouth" as it were). If your desire is to use the logo, it's easy enough to use the W3C validator. If your desire is simply to check yourself, it might work for you as a substitute.
