Which is fine, though you often want to get to the actual page, maybe because you just got attracted by a Valid Foo badge and have no idea what all this stuff is about, or you just followed a validator link in some Usenet posting and want to look at the page to view source. The prominent top-left take-me-back link helps to accomplish that. >>I guess something needs to say valid/not.
