I wonder if valve would be willing to run a validate 3rd party map program where by sv_pure 3 for example would allow all steam content plus validated maps and their required textures etc. Im sure map makers would be willing to submit their work for this to enable them to become pure.

This is my understanding of the problem An unsavoury Server Adminsitrator could in theory, whitelist certain textures as allowable, whilst still giving the apperance of being a pure server. When server admin or players who are aware of changes to the whitelist know this and other players do not, then changes in textures can be used to the advantage of 1 side and disadvantage of the other. sv_pure 2 is the quick fix, but at this stage I have not been made aware of the implications of sv_pure 2 + custom maps, i.e. de_season which is a very popular league/ladder map now as well as a few others.
