+          appears to be plain text, outside any element, to an SGML parser.

+          An attribute name (and some attribute values) must start with one of
+          a restricted set of characters. This error usually indicates that
+          you have failed to add a closing quotation mark on a previous
+          attribute value (so the attribute value looks like the start of a
+          new attribute) or have used an attribute that is not defined
+          (usually a typo in a common attribute name).

+          There is a syntax error in an SGML Comment Declaration. This may be
+          caused by too many or too few hyphens "-" or that you have included
+          an invalid character in the comment. The next message will be
+          "comment declaration started here".

+          The referenced element "FOO" isn't allowed in the context it occurs
+          in, but it would be if it was wrapped in a "BAR" element. The
+          Validator has assumed that you have forgotten to add a "BAR"
+          starttag and continued validation as if it was there. You should
+          check if this is the case and insert the proper tag.
