Maybe a colored border to the body element would do. Perhaps you want to add
some orangish one too, for pages that (only) validate with overridden or
defaulted doctype/charset.

  body.valid {border-color: green}
  body.semi-valid {border-color: orange} /* CSS3 */
  body.invalid {border-color: red}
  body {border-width: 8px; border-style: solid}

If the class attribute was allowed for the html element, you could also use
margin and background-color:

  html.valid {background-color: green}
  html.semi-valid {background-color: orange} /* CSS3 */
  html.invalid {background-color: red}
  body {margin: 8px}
