http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8871 --- Comment #3 from Michael(tm) Smith <mike@w3.org> 2010-02-20 03:39:42 --- (In reply to comment #2) > The some/all quantifier is not needed: "Attributes may be specified by > providing just the attribute name." If further clarification is needed: "This > sets the attribute value to the empty string, so is a conformance error if the > empty string is not a valid value for the attribute." That's the same as saying, "Certain attributes may be specified by providing just the attribute name, with no value.", it's just more words. > > And the per-element subsections of "HTML elements" section of the H:TML draft > > indicate explicitly which attributes can be empty. > > It does for some allowably empty attributes, but not all. > > e.g. @href, @rel and @ping may all be empty on the <a> element, so the > following is conformant: > > <a href rel ping>Foo</a> > > But the language in the H:TML draft appears to forbid this. In fact it doesn't. It says that, e.g., the allowed value of the rel attribute is "tokens", and explicitly defines "tokens" as "A space-separated list of zero or more token instances." Anyway, I did make a refinement to clarify that the value of the @href attribute is allowed to be empty.
