Not sure if you are using PHP or another system but how about just
setting up a wrapper that includes the relevant snippet and validate
that.

************
<!DOCTYPE ...as required...>
<html>
<head><title>Snippet tester</title></head>
<body>

<?php include ("snippet.php"); ?>

</body>
</html>
***********

You could improve this by entering the address of the file into a
posted variable for inclusion:

****
<?php $snippet_filname = $_POST['snippet']; 
include ($snippet_filename); ?>
****

Getting the file to call the validator itself once generated is beyond
my meagre PHP skills but is probably do-able.
