I just tried the current development version on my test case (R-intro.texi in R). This now gives $ python3 validator-runner.py R-intro-7.html error: line 148: there is no attribute "align" error: line 4363: there is no attribute "compact" error: line 4891: there is no attribute "width" error: line 4897: there is no attribute "width" which are, respectively, from <h1 class="settitle" align="center">An Introduction to R</h1> <dl compact="compact"> <thead><tr><th width="25%">Family name</th><th width="55%">Link functions</th></tr></thead> These should/could all be done via style, right? epubcheck complains about more, but the errors are for attribute "compact" not allowed here; expected attribute "class", "dir", "id", "lang", "style", "title" or "xml attribute "width" not allowed here; expected attribute "abbr", "align", "axis", "char", "charoff", "class", "colspan", "dir", "headers", "id", "lang", "rowspan", "scope", "style", "title", "valign" or "xml (hmm, not the align? strange ...)
