Description David Highley 2013-04-21 04:21:53 UTC 
When validating for HTML 5 it flags the controls attribute as needing a parameter when the specification says that it is a boolean; presence is true and absence is false. Line in question:
<video id="movie" width="720" height="480" preload="none" controls>

Should have given url, www.highley-recommended.com/Atlantis/index.html

I can't reproduce this at http://validator.w3.org/nu/ with either your markup fragment more the page at that URL. The validator reports no errors for either.

Confirmed the validator no longer flags any issues in the web page.
