[thelist] Google Webmaster Tools Verification

Google tells me to verify my website by putting the following META Tag
into my index page.

<META name="verify-v1" content="removed=" />

However the web page now doesn't validate, stating:

This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!
Error
        Line 6 column 11:
        there is no attribute "name".

Solution? Can I remove the attribute name and replace with "id", which
would work, but will it screw google up when it looks to validate
against the meta tag via the name attribute?

Thanks,
Dawson
