The spec text you cite relates to processing requirements, not
document-conformance requirements. The approach around requirements of this
kind that is used is the spec is basically to specify what authors must not do,
but then to also specify what processing applications -- UAs/browsers -- must
do even for cases where authors/documents don't follow the rules. There are a
number of other instances in the spec where processing requirements are given
for handling of invalid attributes. The rationale for that is that that are
existing documents that use the attributes, so we need to try to define
processing requirements for them so that we can have some chance of getting
interoperable behavior among various browsers with respect to them.
If you have some information about why the circumstances for handling of these
attributes is somehow different from that for other attributes that are invalid
but that have defined processing requirements, please post it here.
