It does - if you take it as read that the user knows what an attribute
is. As they are writing HTML, that is a fair assumption.

It does explain them fairly close to the front of the manual:

The type attribute has been required on the <script> element since HTML
4 was released. That is getting fairly close to a decade ago, and the
mailing lists are archived back to then
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html/> - so this is hardly
sudden.

As the error message says - it is an attribute. Not a tag.
