To proceed with this, please provide a link to a primary reference about the status of "tabindex" with regards to XHTML. Mark

Not sure about how the tabindex is different between HTML and XHTML. Not mentionned in http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#diffs But there is an other case where the -no_xhtml is ignored: the <meta> tags. Show quoted text

This does not validate against validator.w3.org and was shown to raise issues in some (rare) browser: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/empty.html

According to this reference, tabindex is part of XHTML: http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/p/blattabindex.htm It's also part of HTML: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#adef-tabindex Therefore, it seems reasonable that it is treated the same in HTML and XHTML. I'm therefore considering this bug report "rejected". Feel free to re-open if you find evidence to the contrary.

This is a separate issue, so please open it in a new bug report, preferably with a Test::More-style test case that illustrates the behavior you expect compared to what happens. Thanks for the feedback. Mark
