 * I get an html validation error that complains about the hid “attribute” in this
   javascript statement which is output by wordfence:wp_head()
 * `
    var src="http://[mydomain]/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wordfence_logHuman&
   hid=BE85CD7C63E64A3DE5E38C60B5DE457D
 * Encoding the ampersand cleared the markup error.
