It could be useful to have this kind of framework for org but I think it is difficult problem when it comes to org export. For example, is removing the "validate xhtml" button from an html export make this export invalid?

Which renders this framework far less automatic. I think that having a set of org files against which one could try any export and *see* that the results are almost correct would be enough. -- Manuel Giraud
