6001 2008-08-29 16:21:01 +0000 Need a more appropriate success message for (X)HTML5 validation 2015-08-23 07:07:23 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified HTML Checker General unspecified PC Linux RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 dean ot hsivonen ot www-validator-cvs oldest_to_newest 21685 0 dean 2008-08-29 16:21:01 +0000 Due to the HTML5 specification being a work in progress and therefore (X)HTML5 conformance criteria changing daily; I think we need to make people aware that the (X)HTML5 validation service is experimental. What was valid (X)HTML5 today may not be valid (X)HTML5 next week so I think we need a more appropriate success message. At the moment we have the following message near the top of the page: "This document was successfully checked as HTML5!" Maybe this could be changed to: "This document was successfully checked as HTML5! The HTML5 specification is a work in progress. Validation results for your document may well vary as the specification progresses." Or something like that :) note: of course, change the HTML5 to XHTML5 for XHTML5 documents. 21872 1 ot 2008-09-11 19:53:19 +0000 (In reply to comment #0) > Maybe this could be changed to: > > "This document was successfully checked as HTML5! > The HTML5 specification is a work in progress.
