I love this bit, it makes having the restriction feel so worthwhile:

[WSG] HTML5 and invalid meta tags

2011-07-26 Thread designer 
I notice that some meta tags (like copyright) are invalid html5. The validator 
complains of a 'bad value'. I've searched for this and indeed found refs to 
others having the same problem, but I didn't find anything which details the 
change as such, or indeed why.

Is it real, or do I just ignore it as a blip?  Anyone know what's going on?

Thanks,

Bob
