I'm not quite sure I can parse that: it looks like nonsense.
If your page has a URL, then the validator will accept it.

IF you mean you have a script that needs to be passed parameters
in order to generate the markup to validate, then you may be looking
for cg-eye, which is available at valet.webthing.com and www.htmlhelp.com.
Unfortunately cg-eye's validation capabilities are currently rather
limited, but if you just have HTML and an english (or western-european)
character set it should be fine.
