Hi Bryce,

I think you are a good candidate for the 0.8x beta version I released 
today if you
are a Windows user. This version has a lot of new features but also
validation of  HTML pages after Javascript or Ajax execution.

It works not in the same way than View Rendered Source. But with the 
innerHTML
of the page what allow to find more errors.

You can download it here:

There are test files and explanations here:

Enjoy,

Marc
