Hardly. Validation proper is meaningful only for documents with a declared document type definition. The W3C Validator FAQ is rather outdated, but it tells the essentials: https://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#icon Of course, you can use the XHTML 2.0 icon if you like; nobody can prevent that. And your document might actually conform to the XHTML 2.0 DTD. But XHTML 2.0 never became anything more than “W3C Working Group Note” (so not a specification or anything close), and I don’t think anyone is, or should be, interested in conformance to that. What you should do, IMHO, is to stop using any “icons” purported to show conformance to some HTML, CSS, or other specifications. Whether you conform or not is of no interest to the visitors, and claims on conformance are just disturbing, or worse (especially when they are false, as they often are).
