I understand that HTML 5 validation remains ongoing. However, I would request that some error messages in the HTML 5 Validator utilize the W3C HTML Validation descriptions and suggestive hints. E.g., HTML 5 error message: *Line 111, Column 146*: Quote " in attribute name. Probable cause: Matching quote missing somewhere earlier. … in HTML 5 which states that <q cite*"* http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/cur The above suggestion isn't helpful since the error is an "equal" sign missing in the syntax. The helpful hint below is more accurate. HTML 4.01/Strict error message: *Line 111, Column 146*: an attribute value literal can occur in an attribute specification list only after a VI delimiter … in HTML 5 which states that <q cite*"*http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/cur Have you forgotten the "equal" sign marking the separation between the attribute and its declared value? Typical syntax is attribute="value". HT Please use the HTML 4.01 error message for the missing "equal" sign in the HTML 5 Validation process. Sean Fraser
