translate attribute bad value error

www-validator@w3.org:

The HTML validator reports a "bad value" error when the translate attribute is an empty string, like so:

<p translate=""></p>

The HTML5 candidate recommendation and the HTML5.1 working draft both state that the empty string should map to the "yes" state. Am I correct to assume that this means that an empty string is syntactically valid? According to the above-mentioned documents enumerated attributes are allowed to be empty strings and the translate attribute is an enumerated attribute.
