Summary: colspan incorrectly marked as proprietary

Initial Comment:
A DocBook/XML 4.4 file gets transformed with xsltproc
with docbook-xsl 1.68.1 to a XHTML file.

The preamble of the resulting file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>

It has some constructs like:

<td align="left" valign="top" colspan="2">

running tidy with:

tidy --doctype transitional --output-xhtml yes -im
-wrap 78 -utf8 faq.html

gives me:

line 15 column 319 - Warning: <tr> proprietary
attribute "colspan"

HTML 4.01 specification, Section 11.2.6 Table cells:
The TH and TD elements:

<!ATTLIST (TH|TD) -- header or
data cell --
%attrs; -- %coreattrs,
%i18n, %events --
[...snip...]
colspan NUMBER 1 -- number of
cols spanned by cell --
[...snip...]
>

XHTML 1.0 specification:

Section 1: XHTML 1.0 (this specification) is the first
document type in the XHTML family. It is a
reformulation of the three HTML 4 document types as
applications of XML 1.0.

Section 4 - Differences with HTML 4 - lists nothing
that has changed with regard to HTML 4.0 tables and its
child elements.

Ergo: tidy is incorrect in flagging this. Both for
Strict as for Transitional.

Please re-read the error message, Tidy complains about
colspan on <tr> not on <td> or <th>.
