Comment:

 Please have a look at https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/tutorials
 /working-with-patches/ in order to create patch files that can be more
 easily scanned. Uploading whole files is unfortunately not really helpful.

 Also, just because `type` is not required anymore with HTML5, it doesn't
 mean every website or teme is using HTML5. In HTML4 and other doc types,
 the `type` attribute is required and will cause validation errors (not
 just warnings as in your example).

 Just removing `type` might not the best solution. Maybe we need to use
 `add_theme_support` for this?
