Right now, including the meta/@name='generator' affects validation of <img> tags (see 4.8.1.1.13 Guidance for conformance checkers); it would be good if the definition of the keyword would mention this because it's a somewhat surprising side-effect.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r7183.
Check-in comment: Mention the validator silencing in the definition of the keyword that causes it. Also, clean up some of the related markup (this will be an ongoing thing as I come across such markup).
