Most of the errors seem to be in general markup structure and should really be fixed. Homeless end tags are as such harmless, but they often reflect a more serious problem (e.g., some start tag is missing or misspelled). Unmatched start tags or wrongly nested elements can cause unpredictable results. Some of the error messages are just formal and reflect some special ideas of people who write the specs or maintain the validator. But here only the first error message, "Bad value X-UA-Compatible for attribute http-equiv on element meta", appears to be of this kind. Yucca
