I don't agree that there are "lots" of broken sites. My main browser is Opera and I haven't noticed that problem yet. The fact that there are some sites using 'required' attribute proves that it's a good, intuitive name. HTML5 is likely to outlive those broken sites. I think it would be shame to change to worse name for HTML's lifetime just to avoid temporary problem with some sites. -- regards, Kornel Lesi?ski
