The extension XPI is now 2.0 Mb big ... The SGML parser is quite complex :-) But seems to work really well. The validation for the biggest pages I saw are below the 1/100 sec for both algorithms.

NEW FEATURES
The new version adds the following new features:- validation with a different algorithm, a SGML parser (OpenSP). It is the same algorithm program as the one running on validator.w3.org. The validation is done based on the DTD definition of HTML. The screenshots below let you compare the result of the next version of the extension and the real validator of W3c. They are just the same.
- The help is written in a Wiki web side called Htmlpedia and synchronized at bundle time. If you are interested to improve the help, please do, in the next version it will be bundle with the extension !
- validation of HTML pages after Javascript or Ajax execution
- the warning/errors pane is divided by columns that can be sorted by line/colum, message type, and so on
- line numbers next to the lines of code
- the number of errors is shown at the top and not at the bottom anymore
- a new XHTML help (thanks to Ansgar)
- if your page contains no error, there are a new logos
of this extension that you can add to your site.
No HTML Tidy Error :
or 
No HTML Tidy and no SGML error:
or 
- Also, due that the SGML algorithm is identical to
algorithm
used in validator.w3.org. Normally, if you have 0 errors in
SGML,
if you check you page with validator.w3.org, it will give you
No SGML Error :or
- ...
The SGML Parser is compiled and bundled in a XPI file just like Tidy in older version. You should have just to install the XPI to get it working. Then go to the options and choose algorithm "SGML Parser". Happy validation !!!
SCREENSHOTS
Screenshot 1: Html Validator
Notice the Validation after JavaScript execution. And the different icons depending of the algorithm used.
Screenshot 2: Html Validator (validation by Tidy)
Screenshot 3: Html Validator (validation by SGML Parser)
Screenshot 4/5: The same page validated by
validator.w3.org
(compare the errors with screenshot 3)
