This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/video.html#attr-media-muted currently just states "The muted attribute on the video element controls the default state of the audio channel of the media resource, potentially overriding user preferences." That doesn't give any information about what datatype the muted content attribute is. For other other boolean content attributes, the spec explicitly states that they are boolean; for example: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/video.html#attr-media-loop "The loop attribute is a boolean attribute that, if specified, indicates that the media element is to seek back to the start of the media resource upon reaching the end." So the definition of the muted content attribute should use similar language; e.g.: "The muted attribute on the video element is a boolean attribute that controls the default state of the audio channel of the media resource, potentially overriding user preferences."
