The Validator is a formally rigorous test of HTML correctness, whereas Bobby is a set of essentially ad-hoc tests of conformance to a diverse range of accessibility criteria. > doesn't.

You can validate for accessibility at a more demanding level by declaring a stricter DTD in your documents. The WDG DTD[1] is designed for accessibility, and is probably the nearest thing to "level 2" you'll get from a validator at present. The Page Valet[2] integrates that into a validator similar to the W3C service.
