Summary:
Valid HTML issues
Detailed Description:
The generated lines produs W3C HTML failures.

e.g. 
<meta charset="UTF-8"> Should be ... <meta charset="UTF-8" />

W3C: You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to
"self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

I see  this problem on multiple lines ...

<meta name='description' content='This page covers the topics lezen,xxx'>
<meta name='keywords' content=', xxx,xxx'>
<meta name='robots' content='index, follow'>
<meta name='author' content='site.nl'>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1,
maximum-scale=1">

Read up on your HTML5 specification! Closing slashes are not required and cause
warnings in the WC3 HTML5 Validator.

If you are using XHTML in your template, then you need to tell SEOTool2 on the
'Page Title & Meta Information' tab.  Switching to XHTML will put in the '/' on
self-closing tags and change the doctype declaration to the correct format for
XHTML.

Ooops, not the doctype, the meta charset tag is what I meant.
