Related to Bug 13403.

HTML5.1 Bugzilla Bug Triage: Fixed, this seems fixed in the lastest draft.

If this resolution is not satisfactory, please copy the relevant bug details/proposal into a new issue at the W3C HTML5 Issue tracker: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/new where it will be re-triaged. Thanks!
