G+ code fails W3C validation

Hi

I've installed the 'share' icons on a page, which otherwise validates properly on the W3C markup checker.

However, the google+ code fails on the following:

There is no attribute "size"

<g:plusone size="medium" count="false" href="https://etc </g:plusone>

For the same libe there is also:
There is no attribute "count"
There is no attribute "href"

element "g:plusone" undefined

There is also, further down (in the LinkedIn section):

there is no attribute "data-url"

<script type="in/share" data-url="https://etc "></script>

Plus, the URL's have become https: whereas it is actually http:// (I see this should be easy to change in code view.

Appreciate any fixes.

Thanks
Chris

Unfortunately we can't change the syntax of the code that is displayed since that is the recommended code from each of the Social Media.

We will make a note of this issue in future releases to see if there is a work around. But meanwhile all those attributes are need for the share button to work properly.

Hi Dani

Thanks for checking anyway; I find it very disappointing that one of the leading Internet businesses can't be bothered to ensure compliance before releasing code. Not the first time that Google generated code hasn't been compliant.

If Google can't insist on it, what encouragement is there for others?

Cheers
Chris
