I am validating against HTML5 obtained through VS2010 SP1. I was under the impression that this simplification was possible:
<script type="text/javascript" src="foo.js">...</script>
to
<script src="foo.js">...</script>
In attempting this, I found:
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<script src="../Scripts/MicrosoftAjax.js"></script>
</head>
yielded this:
Warning 1 Validation (HTML5): Element 'script' is missing required attribute 'type'.
Am I missing something? Is the Visual Studio XHTML5 validation more strict than the HTML5 doc necessitates?

Follow the steps: Launch Visual Studio 2012. Go to Tools > Options menu. When Options configuration screen is displayed, go to Text Editor > HTML > Validation.
Turn it on After installing SP1 you have to tell Visual Studio to start using the HTML5 schema. Go to Tools -> Options, and then select Text Editor -> HTML -> Validation. You should now be able to select HTML5 or XHTML5 as the target schema.
I resolved the issue by manually editing the schema file.
<xsd:element name="script">
...
<xsd:attribute name="type" vs:readonly="true" use="required">
...
html_5.xsd in the VS schemas folder<Program Files>\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Packages\schemas\html
xsd:element name="script" tag) remove the use="required" attribute.

Seems like it's been submitted to Connect. The VS validator is being stricter than the HTML5 spec.
