epub:type is an epub3 attribute. my point was only that W3C will invalidate if it encounters it.

is there a 'HTML5 experimental' setting in DW? i meant to try with W3C's online validator and try the setting there. if it's telling you that <article> and <section> are undefined then it's not recognizing your document as HTML5.
