I was afraid you were going to say that. And, in fact, I did find a tool that works pretty well validating the output ... Firefox's DOM Inspector. At least I am able to see that I have good nesting which is what I was concerned with. I'll try working with that to see what else it will tell me.

Why not: View Source in a browser, copy the code (command-A, command-C), switch to BBEdit and open a new window (command-N), paste (command-V), then Check Document Syntax (command-control-Y).

Granted, it's not automated, but neither is the DOM inspector. Another advantage is that BBEdit colors the HTML and you're viewing the code in the familiar BBEdit environment. There are even ways of shortening this process by configuring Firefox to view source in BBEdit (at least there used to be; I haven't done this lately).
