No. The term is not "Progressive Improvement" but rather "Progressive Enhancement" -- there is a difference. Most of us strive for progressive improvement in everything we do, but "Progressive Enhancement" is a term that usually relates to creating a web site that will function with javascript turned off and will function differently (hopefully better, hence enhancement) with javascript turned on. Validation simply means that the page submitted for validation passes whatever test preformed upon it. You may validate your web page for HTML, CSS, et al. If you page fails that validation, then it is not acceptable to continue to use a CSS icon indicating that it does pass validation under the argument that you are progressively improving your site. Simply fix the validation errors and continue improving your site.
