 * Hey y’all! I just activated AMP on my site and while checking validation on a
   URL I received the following notice:
 * > The rechecked URL is free of non-removed invalid markup.
 * What’s that mean? Is that a good thing? A bad thing?

 * Hi!
 * Yeah, that message is not very clear. It just means that there is no invalid 
   markup that is remaining on the page. It has all been removed, leaving a valid
   AMP page.
 * Nevertheless, there may still have been invalid AMP markup on the page which 
   caused validation errors, and yet the default action is to remove it. If you 
   determine the invalid markup was OK to remove, you can mark it as “Reviewed”.
 * However, if removing that markup causes the page to break in some way, you should
   mark the markup status for the validation error as “Kept”. This will prevent 
   the page from breaking, but it will also prevent the URL from being served as
   valid AMP.
 * Going forward in the world of Bento, we’re going to be moving toward a less draconian
   approach to AMP validation. Instead of AMP being valid or not, there will be 
   degrees of how much AMP is being used. So you’ll be able to use AMP components
   alongside non-AMP markup together. In doing so you’ll get many of AMP’s speed
   benefits, but also be able to use your custom functionality that isn’t yet in
   an AMP component. And with Bento, in addition to using the Bento AMP components,
   you’ll also be able to create your own. It’s still early days for this, however.
   😉 Watch this space.
