    I wish your plugin would validate.

    it will because of the API google maps uses. it has strings like:

    ?map=7274hdfgy&tile=sdojwskj&stuff=od839d

    All the "&"'s will not validate under a XHTML doctype that WordPress uses. The doctype wants these to be written as "& amp;". You can't do that because the script will fail. So although the validator says it doesn't validate you need to pay attention to the fact that it's a script not a layout/content issue.

    It's not really an issue.
