Thanks for testing. These validation errors stem from the use of the Facebook "open graph" meta tags. We can have Facebook integration, or validation, but not both, I'm afraid.

These were brought over with the code from the Firefox Live site.

Chris, should we drop the Facebook meta tags, or wontfix?.

I would keep the Facebook OG data as that is very important to sharing. The FB OG will never validate given that it is not valid HTML5. All other websites with FB OG suffer the same thing.
