webkitdirectory in input

Hello.

I found problem in your validator.
Google Chrome 7 supports directory uploads with input attribute "webkitdirectory". I develop little
example 
of this feature: http://html5blog.ru/examples/directory-upload.php
And validate this with your validator: http://validator.w3.org/check?
uri=http://html5blog.ru/examples/directory-upload.php&charset=
(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator/1.1
Is it true that there is error: Attribute webkitdirectory not allowed on element input at this point? Is 
attribute "webkitdirectory" is part of HTML5?

Sorry for my English.

RE: webkitdirectory in input

"webkitdirectory" is a proprietary solution. It is specific to Chrome. It is
_not_ part of any standard.

_If_ it gets standardised, it will probably be called "directory".

Until then, it will not validate.

6 errors because words in URL strings are undefined.
when the validator should not be even reading url strings

Incorrect.

To quote from the URL you included:

An entity reference was found in the document, but there is no reference by that name defined. Often this is
caused by misspelling the reference name, unencoded ampersands, or by leaving off the trailing
semicolon (;). The most common cause of this error is unencoded ampersands in URLs as described by the WDG
in "Ampersands in URLs": http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp

I don't think the error text suggests that.  Anyway, the current development 
version tries to document issues related to https for icons and the 
uri=referer mechanism more prominently.

It's not intentional, and it was not a known issue at least to me.  But I 
believe it's an issue that needs fixing in OpenSP, that's where the message 
comes from, and I can't think of a sane workaround offhand in validator that 
we could apply in the meantime.

The current development version at http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/ has some 
fixes in it that make IDN's much more likely to work.
