jslint type tool for css

I am using JSLint to validate and inspect my javascript files. I find it very useful and helps me write better code. I have integrated it into Visual Studio through external tools.

I am looking for a similar tool but this time for CSS? Any other there to look at, mostly to carry out same tasks as JSLint.

W3C have an online CSS validator. ~~It's not downloadable, but you may want to write a short script that sends the contents of you CSS files to W3C and returns the results.~~

It can be downloaded from here. (Thanks @David... see comment below)

W3C also expose a Web Service API for CSS validation.

It's not downloadable? There is a download link ( http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/DOWNLOAD.html ) at the bottom of the homepage. It's a bit fiddly, but you do get a command line tool. I started wrapping a GUI around the classes at one point, so it is quite easy to work with.
