This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
This issue was originally reported by Richard Tobin. Assessment Outcome (Attribute) only applies to attributes that have been assessed. Since there is no difference between assessment and strict assessment for an attribute, an attribute that has not been strictly assessed will never have a [validation attempted] property, so it is impossible for the [validation attempted] property to be none. Similarly the [validity] property can never be notKnown. This seems odd. An attribute with no type declaration cannot be assessed (Schema-Validity Assessment (Attribute)), so it will never have any PSVI properties, whereas it would be natural for it to have [validation attempted] = none and [validity] = notKnown.

Is this related to bug 2578?
*** Bug 2263 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The Working Group discussed this at our face to face meeting, today, 28 March. There was some sentiment in favor of the proposition that no actual bug or problem has been reported here; others in the WG were inclined to agree with the commentator that the situation is strange. In the end, though, there was no consensus on any change to the spec. We are accordingly closing this issue as WONTFIX. Richard, as the originator of the issue, we ask that you change its status to reflect your agreement or disagreement with this disposition: change the status to CLOSED if you are willing to accede to the WONTFIX resolution, or to REOPENED if you wish to record a formal appeal.
I still think this is strange, but I have no interest in pursuing it.
