From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
I'd be up for the "alternative validity" approach as you described. The idea that "the DWU" in rule 4 of T:VALID is just the universe introduced in An Unearthly Child seems to me like a blatant violation of T:NPOV to treat all media equally.
This sort of system would also help distinguish between the stories that are currently invalid because they don't conform to the idea of a singular valid Doctor Who universe as it exists in fandom today and stories that are invalid because of problems not related to this such as lack of narrative or licensing.
