It not passing the validator is not a problem. The W3C validator is a tool to
find possible problems. This is not a problem.

MediaWiki is built for browsers, not for validators. History has shown us time
and time again that browsers are different than the W3C specification writes.
Either intentionally or not.

This tag does not cause warnings in real browsers. It works fine with no
problems whatsoever.

The reason it exists is because a placeholder marker is needed to mark where
dynamic stylesheets need to be inserted into the document.

This marker doesn't have to be a <meta> tag, but it needs to be something.
Something that doesn't do anything and is allowed in that position (i.e. not
"moved" by real browsers, regardless of what the W3C says).

Any suggestions what kind of tag (or attributes) to use instead?

CC-ing @DanielFriesen for input as well.
