This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Right now, including the meta/@name='generator' affects validation of <img> tags (see 4.8.1.1.13 Guidance for conformance checkers); it would be good if the definition of the keyword would mention this because it's a somewhat surprising side-effect.
This bug was cloned to create bug 17870 as part of operation convergence.

Hi Silvia, The alt Meta Generator issue was reopened as ISSUE-206, a call for consensus was made and resolved by Amicable Resolution http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Aug/0452.html The prevailing change proposal was: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/Issue31cMetaGeneratorUpdated So this bug 17117 should reflect that resolution. Please remove the text added at: https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/cd58b0a63874c61974076903492900b55aa355fd

Note: the explanatory paragraph related to meta generator is removed as of Bug 9212. I'm resolving as a duplicate to that bug. If you prefer the FIXED resolution, I'm game with that too. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 9212 ***
