 * Hi Thomas,
 * Thanks for getting in touch. Would you be able to provide a little bit more context
   about the issue you are facing. I understand that the type attribute may be unnecessary.
   I am wondering if you can elaborate on: 
   1. What is the purpose of this “better
   HTML checking”? I am wondering what the optimisation gained here is? Is it reducing
   unnecessary bytes from your html file? 2. Is there anything on your web page 
   that is currently broken as a result of this attribute. This will help us prioritise
   this task in our backlog. Thanks for taking the time,
 * Best,
 * Conor

 * As part of WordPress Leipzig, we looked at valid code. It plays a role in accessibility
   and SEO.
 * Luckily my site only has 1 error and 2 warnings.
 * One option and solution we had discussed was to inform the plugin authors about
   the invalid code.
 * This is not a high priority, but the requirements for accessibility in Germany
   and Europe will change considerably in 2025.

 * Hi Thomas,
 * Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I will add an accessibility item
   to our backlog. I anticipate this issue will be resolved within a couple of months.
 * Best,
