Hi there,
I have a small problem validating <a href="http://www.classicio.com/"
title="classic cars">my cars home page</a>

Google webmaster tool needs META validation for site owner eg
<META name="verify-v1"
content="KvXFNSXkB7N+AraNmuFjw1ZE/KA5dKwTxjcH4PUfoGg=" />

W3C Validator returns that 'name' and 'content' is not valid attribute
a bit confusing as Google provided this code ??

is there any workaround this issue?
