This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
On the specification of the time element[1], there is an error at the part it explains what happens when the pubdate attr. is not specified: "If the element does not need a date, *and the datetime attribute is present*, then the attribute's value must be a valid date or time string. If the element does not need a date, *but the datetime attribute is not present*, then the element's textContent must be a valid date or time string in content." Instead, it should be: "If the element does not need a date, *but the datetime attribute is present*, then the attribute's value must be a valid date or time string. If the element does not need a date, *and the datetime attribute is not present*, then the element's textContent must be a valid date or time string in content."

I think we're going to move away from <time> so this will likely become a non-issue.
@Ian Can you please explain what you mean by "...move away from..."?
