Validating the fragment <q cite="URL">blach</q> against HTML5, one gets this warning: "The cite attribute on the q element is not supported by browsers yet." I would like to get rid of this warning, or optionally get it changed. Why? Because: 1) my daily browser does support @cite on <q> and <blockquote>. 2) @cite is part of Microdata, which it seems is being implemented in browsers, I have heard. 3) Does browsers support <meter value="0.5">half</meter> ? According to the WHATwg version HTML5, some early betas supports it. That's all. So why doesn't the validator say that it is not supported yet? I smell a personal view of one/some validator developer. ;-) If browser support is called out like that, then there should also be a link to some place where the degree of support is listed. Or, the warning should list specificially which browsers that do not support it yet. But where should I report the bug? bugzilla.validator.nu o http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/enter_bug.cgi?product=Validator or http://bugzilla.validator.nu ? -- Leif Halvard Silli
