We're in the process of moving to HTML5, and these meta-tags causes the site to not validate, even though everything else is pure, simple and semantic. I therefore propose that meta-tag names that are not in the wiki[1] are flagged as warnings instead of errors by conformance checkers, since the current spec probably will slow down the speed of HTML5 adoption for a lot of sites, and it also seems "wrong" to limit the generic usefulness of the meta-tag and also break compatibility with HTML 4.01 for no good reason. best regards Eirik Mikkelsen eim@brreg.no [1] http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/MetaExtensions Posted from: 95.169.47.131 User agent: Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; U; en) Presto/2.9.168 Version/11.50 -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
