I have no plans to address this right now. It would just be way too much work to implement. I do intent to get around to it eventually.

The web services idea I like, and I've thought about invoking the validators from the command line. But that would mean including them in the distros, and that would mean depending on the Java runtime being installed. That's unacceptable.
The web services idea sounds interesting. I would have to find a reliable epub-check service and would have to get permission from the site owner... I have no intention of sending them massive amounts of data without permission first.
And then the feature would depend on their availability. And it would offer only the features they offer...
I'll have to think about this a bit more. For now, you can use epub-check directly.

I have ideas on how to fix it, it's just a substantial amount of work for something very minor. There are more pressing concerns first.
