I am developing a .mobi website, and have a testing copy hosted at http://jackie-liu.info/mobi/. I have managed to edit the code to get a 5/5 on Ready.mobi (which tells me that my markup is valid), but am getting errors on the W3C Validator.
Ready.mobi results: http://ready.mobi/results2.jsp?uri=http://www.jackie-liu.info/mobi/&locale=null
W3C Validator results: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.jackie-liu.info/mobi/
Please advise me if I should, and if so, how to deal with the errors on the W3C Validator.
Some additional information:
If I remove the ending slash character (/) at the problem places that the W3C Validator points out, then the two errors at W3C disappear. But then Ready.mobi begins to throw a fit about invalid code, and lowers my MOBI Ready score to 4/5. Ready.mobi then says I need to close the <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/styles.css" /> and <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" /> tags. I close them with </link> and </meta> respectively, then the W3C Validator says I had closed elements using these tags that were never opened. It satisfies Ready.mobi again though.
I'm stuck in a loop, please help.
Note: I have renamed my index file from index.xhtml to index.html. Maybe that is why the W3C validator says
"

I'll change it back to the .xhtml so it's served as text/xhtml, and it should deal with those top errors. But I still need help with the other, more serious errors.
Sidenote: What is the license of the .MOBI templates found in the right sidebar of this page? Are there any conditions for use? Do I have full rights (use, sale, distribute, etc.) for pages or designs made using that template?
