The following error is produced when trying to validate a page with http-equiv="expires".

Validation Output: 1 Error

 Line 7, Column 66: Bad value expires for attribute http-equiv on element meta.
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Thu, 08 Mar 2012 00:30:36 GMT"/>
Comment 1 Michael[tm] Smith 2012-03-13 05:31:13 UTC 
html5 doesn't  allow http-equiv=expires

The only allowed values for http-equiv are content-language, content-type, default-style, default-style, set-cookie
