Sure, in 4.2.5.4 change

"Conformance checkers must use the information given on the WHATWG Wiki
PragmaExtensions page to establish if a value is allowed or not: values
defined in this specification or listed on the aforementioned page must
be accepted, whereas values not listed in either this specification or
on the aforementioned page must be rejected as invalid. Conformance
checkers may cache this information (e.g. for performance reasons or to
avoid the use of unreliable network connectivity)."

in 4.12.4.14 change

"Conformance checkers must use the information given on the microformats

Sorry for not being explict from the start -- as a non-native English
