 * The last week I’ve fallen off of the Google searches, and thought I’d check out
   validation and errors. I’ve read lots on whether its needed or not, but I want
   to make sure the following errors in my source are not causing the issues. If
   I disable the SEO plugin, the errors go away.
 * Thanks in advance for some help on this. – Matt

 * I receive this error:
    Error: Attribute xml:lang not allowed on element html 
   at this point.
 * From the source:
