Jeffrey Zeldman, kind of all things designed with web standards, has  
created a Web Standards Advisor extension (http://www.webassist.com/professional/products/productdetails.asp?PID=255&WAAID=889 
)  for Adobe Dreamweaver for the low low price of only $49.99 (do you  
think I'll get a free license for plugging it here?). It includes two  
major interfaces:

The Web Validator validates your HTML and CSS and verifies the proper  
use of microformats, including hCard and hCalendar, for single pages  
or entire websites.

The Web Standards Advisor checks for subtleties of standards  
compliance in nine different areas—everything from structural use of  
headings to proper ID, class, and element use. Nonstandard practices  
are flagged and reported in the Dreamweaver Results panel for quick  
code correction. A full report with more details and suggested fixes  
is also generated.
