The easy way is to just use a real HTTP header rather than using a
<meta> element:
X-UA-Compatible: IE=9
The hard way is to:
1. Register the "X-UA-Compatible" pragma extension as described at:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/semantics.html#concept-http-equiv-extensions
2. Submit a bug to the validator bug tracker to get it updated to
support your newly registered pragma:
