I recently removed the full size validation buttons from my (personal) site's 
footer. Whilst they're useful to me, they're probably not so to that many 
others, although they're certainly more relevant to my audience than that of a 
general interest site.

I think there's a perception that they smack somewhat of a 'look how good I am' 
mentality, and there's a danger you'll be shot down in flames should a single 
validation error occur when those links are followed.

This (type of) information should almost certainly be provided by the browser 
rather than individual web pages.
