EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: As far as I can tell, these are all bogus.
useful practices in this type of situation: - report deficiencies in test tool if incorrect results are indeed reported - silence all erroneous reported deficiencies by substituting acceptable alternatives, so that correctly reported warnings/errors are not inadvertently overlooked
- use a better tool. :-)
