Does the same principle apply to attributes?
If a validator can't catch typos, what's left?
It would be perfectly OK and expected for a validator to emit an "unrecognized element" diagnostic.
It would be really out of line for a desktop newsreader to refuse to display a feed because it has an unrecognized element, whether it's from the Atom namespace or not. That's the behavior the current language supports. I don't see how it gets in the way of validators. -Tim
