HTML5 valid Google+ Button - Bad value publisher for attribute rel
- by mrtsherman
I recently migrated my website from xhtml transitional to html5. Specifically so that I could make use of valid block level anchor tags. <a><div /></a>.
When running validation I encountered the following error:
Bad value publisher for attribute rel on element link: Keyword
publisher is not registered.
But according to this page, that is exactly what I am supposed to do.

My code:
<link href="https://plus.google.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" rel="publisher" />
<a href="https://plus.google.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?prsrc=3" style="text-decoration:none;">
<img src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png" alt="" style="border:0;width:16px;height:16px;"/>
</a>
I can't figure out how to implement this in an html5 compliant way. Can anyone help?
