It's a bug in the schema that's used by the validator.nu backend on which the HTML5 facet of the W3C Markup Validator relies. I've filed a bug report for it: http://bugzilla.validator.nu/show_bug.cgi?id=744 ...and I will try to get the fix for that checked in very soon, and pushed out to the W3C Markup Validator shortly after that. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike
