Hi Michael and everyone else on the list.

I was wondering why we have different results again on our validator.nu
instances from that found on http://validator.w3.org . Last time it turned
out the startup flags had changed on the build.py ... we are using the
following still:

python ./build/build.py --follow-w3c-spec
--presets-file="nu-validator-site/presets.txt" all &

This is a summary of the extra errors we are not expecting:


   1. [image: Error] *Line 1, Column 456*: Bad value viewport for attribute
   name on element meta: Keyword viewport is not registered.

It doesn't look like anything has changed on the frontend markup validator
code either, hence the question. :D

Many thanks,
