Or students. I teach web development and take pains to assure that the
pages my students use are valid and on some of them, I display the
valid icon. Some of my students display it as well when learning how
to create valid pages. Other than these very few uses, I agree with
you; who cares? I don't put it on my University pages or on the few
sites I manage for non-profits. I do display it on some of my teaching
pages and I may have it on a personal page or two.
