Ar... Bug218101 is a lot more complicated than I thought
Yesterday, I went through the help contexts xml files in org.eclipse.wst.validation.infopop. Unfortunately, I found more evidence that solidify my view that the validator only works with project.
Here is what I found:
"If you select a file or folder that is outside of the scope of a project, the rule will not be activated." - ValidationPrefs_HelpContexts.xml ( It appears in "WTP's validator preference page" -> "validator setting" -> "add rule" -> "folder or file name" -> "? (help)" )
I posted on WTP newsgroup about this issue. Hopefully, I'll get a reply soon.

When I picked this bug, I was thinking it is only an UI issue. It could be "fixed" by assigning a new context menu item and implementing its action to do manual validation. But now, I'm sure there is a lot more to do to "fix" this bug.

Be Patient
I speculate that you might get a reply on the newsgroup on Monday. Who's the QA contact person on the Bug Report? Angel? Valentin? Angel came to our class last Tuesday. Valentin has been very supportive in answering my questions.
