--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Post.php is causing many many html validation errors due to hidden screen
 reader text for post meta fields mainly. Not a major problem, but annoying
 when attempting to validate admin plugin code.

 eg:

 <label class='screen-reader-text' for='meta[1957][key]'>Key</label><input
 name='meta[1957][key]' id='meta[1957][key]' tabindex='6' type='text'
 size='20' value='_wp_geo_latitude' />

 character "[" is not allowed in the value of attribute "id"
 character "[" is not allowed in the value of attribute "for"

 "[" are allowed in the name attribute.  So perhaps one could simply strip
 them out them for the 'id' and the 'for'?

 Other failed validation messages that occur a lot and appear to be wp
 generated code:
 -   ID "_ajax_nonce" already defined
 -   reference to non-existent ID "metakeyselect"
