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. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Did Not Understand Request Change Description: no spec change Rationale: I don't understand. pubdate, pubdate="pubdate", and pubdate="" are all allowed. What's wrong? I've added some examples for boolean attributes, are they enough? 37823 3 w3.org 2010-08-25 01:47:36 +0000 the lack of examples meant it was unclear that four different styles were valid. The examples you added make it much clearer, thanks. It would still be nice to link to 12.1.2.3, but I think it’s clear enough as it is
