Well, if you're using the browser anyway, you could use Firefox plus 
the WebDeveloper Toolbar (which can send the current doc to the W3C 
validator even if it's loaded from your local hard disk) or iCab 
which has a built-in validator  (though it's not always as accurate 
as the one from the W3C).

Of course, a solution which can be directly called from TextMate 
would be nice, but I don't know any...

Kind regards,
