Unfortunately not, Nikodem. The Validator is a bit naughty in that regard.
All of the other validators I have tested send an accept header, but not
the W3C_validator :-(
The lack of an accept header is an ongoing issue and something that
really bugs me and a lot of other people:

Here's a simplified version of the PHP content negotiation script that I
use on my sites. At the present moment it seems to be the best way to
ensure that your pages are validated as XHTML when using the W3C_validator.
if (stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'], "application/xhtml+xml") ||
stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "W3C_Validator"))
{
$mime = "application/xhtml+xml";
} else
{
$mime = "text/html"; }
header("Content-Type: $mime; charset=utf-8");
Hope that helps
