GotS does not pass WAVE accessibility checks #122

Not sure what we'd do about this, but it's lacking a language at the meta tag level, so it gets an error.

One example provided by Doreen Hansen.

This example is for XHTML, I'm not sure what you're using, but this is just an example of the line that would make it pass accessibility checks. From W3C:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">

This example defines the content of an XHTML 1.0 document with content type of text/html to be in the English (US) language. Both the lang and xml:lang attributes are specified in order to meet the requirements of XHTML and provide backward compatibility with HTML.
