Possibly, the thought went that it might be useful to still have some references pointing to the W3C Validator (links, perhaps?) while allowing images to be served locally -- e.g. say somebody offered a local clone of the validator; well, they'd want the actual images to be served from their site, but perhaps still have the sample A/IMG link on the results page (i.e. "Here is the HTML you could use...") point to the W3C Validator... I think that's where I was going... Don't ask me about $loc_image_uri though ;)
