 * Hello,
    The Social Sharing Toolkit is producing the following error when W3C 
   validating in HTML5:
 * Element g:plusone not allowed as child of element span in this context. (Suppressing
   further errors from this subtree.)
 * Is there a known way to remove this invalid code, or is this something you plan
   on fixing in a future release? If not, can you explain the error to me so I can
   explain it to the client?
 * Thanks!

 * And one more validation error that our developer shared is coming from code generated
   by the Social Sharing Toolkit:
 * & did not start a character reference. (& probably should have been escaped as&.)
 * It looks like an easy fix to replace & with it’s ascii character code but since
   this is something that is generated in the page it’s not something I can have
   our developer go in and fix. (Right?)
