The Validator code does support it through the LWP Perl module, but only http and https are allowed in the default configuration (which, I guess, v.w.o is running). I just tried out your sample above on a local validator instance, and it validates as ISO-HTML nicely :) Maybe the data: scheme could be enabled in the default config. I don't know if there are any possible security implications, though. Filing an enhancement request at <http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/> would be a good idea.
