Yes, this is a true error. There is no work-around other than removing
it. It would also be possible to change the document type to XHTML 1.0
which "incorrectly" [1] allows this, but I am told that Frontpage would
change the syntax of this very element back to HTML syntax, so there
aren't really alternatives. It is not necessary to include this element
in the published web site...
[1] Several people reported this to the HTML WG which considered the
specification in error in this regard, but it did not change the
content model in the revised XHTML 1.0 specification and according
to http://www.w3.org/2002/08/REC-xhtml1-20020801-errata/ there are
no known errors in the specification, which is factually false, but
well...
