I don't really think they'll complain, or care, about the looks of the 
validator.

Mozilla does not allow us to disable CSS, but it does allow us to 
disable font choices. I do, most of the time.

No, this is not about principles. I just think the validator would do 
just fine without CSS. It would save the developers time to care about 
real bugs in the actual validator, and in real problems with content, 
not needing to worry which fonts to use, or which font settings might 
upset Konqueror.

I use CSS a lot myself.
