That sounds like a very useful thing to do. Thank you for the effort, 
please keep doing it. I hope you also send along a link to the validator 
so the webmaster can use it as a debug tool and maybe tell his/her 
colleagues about it.

As a temporary alternative you could use a different validator at 
http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/ which has that option.
I personally agree that indeed 'the' validator, from W3C, should have 
this option too. If you find out where/what the changes in the source 
code should be, that would speed up things significantly.
