Bad value X-UA-Compatible for attribute http-equiv on element meta. 
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1">

Comment 1 Michael[tm] Smith 2010-05-06 10:14:29 CEST

The HTML5 spec by design does not allow arbitrary values for the http-equiv attribute:

  http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/semantics.html#attr-meta-http-equiv

It only allows the values content-language, content-type, default-style, and refresh. It requires that any values other than those be reported as errors. So for the case of http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible, validator.nu conforms to the current spec and reports it as an error
