Can you automate some of the checking, using tools such as HTML/CSS lint, validators, checkstyle-like parsers?

Well, I kind of got the impression from the original question that this was
kind of out of the question.

However, I think it might be useful to look at development practices for a
solution: for example, we don't merge anything to master that hasn't been
code reviewed (well, that's not 100% true, but anything of significance),
it seems like something similar could exist for your web content.  Nothing
goes live without being peer reviewed and it's up to the author to get a
reviewer if they want to release the content, which at least then makes
multiple parties responsible for what goes up.  People can still abuse the
system, but that's a human management issue, at that point, not a
technological one.

It sounds like what you need to do is a bit of guerrilla education for
people on good methods of writing for the web versus things that are not
appropriate for a professional setting. I have dealt with (and still am) a
similar situation. The best approach I find is often to do a better version
without stomping on their changes, talk to them, and explain why it is a
better approach. Eventually if you are lucky they will have that ‘Aha’
moment.
