Doing so now would force new users to 1) find the plugin, and 2) install an interpreter before they could use it.

I'd love to see some alternative validation plugins, though. Whether or not the core feature remains a part of Sigil shouldn't discourage anyone from making those happen.
But the problem with the link to the online CSS validator is that it barfs when there are embedded fonts. That's not how a properly working CSS validator should work. And when you up the CSS level, you also validate for things that aren't valid in ePub 2. So it's not as useful as you might think.
