XHTML 1.1 validation error on comments form -- span vs div #152

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Validate openid enabled and comment enabled form using the w3c standard
compliance.  The site should be xhtml 1.1 compliant.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Indicator that the site is using valid code

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OpenID 3.3.2 on Wordpress 2.8.6

Please provide any additional information below.
I validate against xhtml 1.1 code for my entire, user visable, site.  This
is mostly a suggestion but on xhtml 1.1 the use of a <span> tag around the
openid login option for the comment form throws an error.  It is because
the span tag is an element level item.  Since we are doing a block of items
maybe we should be using a <div> instead?  I have tested and it still works
as expected in all 5 major browsers (ie 8, firefox 3.5, safari, opera,
chrome).  I just have to commit the change into my own repository. 
Attached should be an appropriate diff to use if you so wish to.
