No, anybody can put a w3c validated logo on their site provided that site's html
ISvalid.To check the validity of you page just use the w3c validation service by either entering the location of the page on that site or even easier, if you use Opera (which you should
) then right click on the page and select 'validate'.
If your html is valid the resulting page will also give you the code you need to place in your site to show the logo, e.g. for xhtml strict 1.0 this is
<p><a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer"><img
src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-xhtml10"
alt="Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict" height="31" width="88" /></a>
</p>
'
In this case the code pulls the logo from w3.org and links it so that when you click on it, it enters the validation service so your users can also check to see if your page is valid like you say.
Of course there's nothing to stop you from removing that 'link' and just showing the logo but that might make it look like you have something to hide lol.
You could also download the icon to your own web space, and edit the code to reflect this change in location. Also, if you don't like that design, there are other logos available if you do a google search.
Oh and there's also one for css too. You can check that validity here http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
Hope that helps
