I even have a patch for that bug. It was just the first example that came to mind; meta is often the first thing that developers reach for. If the validation errors on metadata names served a clearly useful purpose I'd suggest waiting it out until using data-* becomes more of a reflex, but that doesn't seem to be the case so the pain inflicted in the meantime doesn't appear to be useful. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
