<p>the above unknown element should appear on line 13, <em>column 4</em>, maybe 5.</p>

by my naive understanding, it should report the <typo> on column *4*
(maybe 5).
the validator lists the problem at column 8, while the column indicator
(the caret ^) indicates column 9.
for comparison, the wdg's[1] caret indicator and column number are in
agreement on column 9.
