Like Spuds said though, validation is only good for that moment. After that, the author can change it and the forum will change. He also said that it takes forever and requires a lot of people to make work. There's no large team here and there's no desire of these two to work on "validating" themes.
The only thing I can see that could be done is to test to see if the theme installs and doesn't have any parse errors. That could be automated, but someone would have to build that system. You could also setup a system where it installs the theme and you supply it with tests (namely URLs) to check to see if it validates as HTML, JS, and CSS. Once again, though, this would need to happen every time you made a change to the theme or there was a release made.
