I don't think you can do this.  The W3's validator either needs a 
publicly available URL, or it needs a file to be uploaded.  The file 
upload is done over POST (not GET, which is the URL), so for TM to send 
a file to the validator over POST, it would need to pretend to be a 
user uploading a file with a POST form...

I know TM can't do this, but perhaps it can interact with a library 
that can, but it certainly won't be easy at all.
