It opens a tab for each
css file in your epub. "The Text Area" wording you're seeing on the W3C page does not mean it's checking the text of the file.
There's always been overlap between CSS 2.1 and 3.0 specs RE epubs. The preferences setting to choose which css level setting you want to use for validation was added so people could quiet those warnings if they wish. The problem is that not everything in CSS3 is valid in EPUB 2 (and not everything in CSS2/2.1 covers everything that's valid in EPUB2).

Judging by this response, I'm guessing you're unaware that you can choose which specification version you want the Validate Stylesheets feature to use when it send it to the W3C website. They're under Sigil's General Preferences tab. You can choose a different css spec versions for epub2 and epub3.
