Details

The standalone validator currently lets you choose your target app version from a dropdown. It should also parse the install.rdf (if it exists) and use the maxVersion to validate the full range between max and target. This was supposed to be done in bug 668901, whoops. This also requires a change to the validation results page so it can display a range of targeted app version results.

I don't think this is necessary. If an add-on only targets a specific range of versions, we shouldn't show compatibility issues for versions outside of that range. Things like hotfix add-ons don't care about future versions, only the versions that they were built for. Validation always runs compat tests (during standalone and submission) for the range of versions that the add-on can be installed for.
