It is doing more in-depth scanning than Highlighter.
My wish list for Validator would be the following:
1 - Move it to its own tab so it is not reliant upon WME
As mentioned before, right as you posted this, Validator got updated to 1.1.18, which now puts it in its own tab! So, looks like your (and mine, and everyone elses) wish was granted
2 - Provide a quick "on/off" toggle button that kills the continual scanning, but leaves the "Run report" option on the tab and enabled... Pressing the "play" button auto-activates the script and runs a scan logging to a report as it does now.
For me it works like this. As you can see in the screenshot, the highlighting is disabled, but the run and show scan buttons are still enabled (ran a scan fine without highlighting enabled).

3 - The ability to export the report (with HTML links) to an external HTML file to allow a detailed scan to be run and saved for later in the event we get called away, browser crash, etc...
As I mentioned before, you can already save a report by using the browser save page function. Additionally, there is a "Save this report" button at the beginning and end of the report that will save it as an HTML file. Do you not have that button?
