There is a lot of discussion of disabling or limiting the required attribute already, see bug 40747 and bug 40520.

But HTML5 is not an additional standard, it actually supersedes previous versions. Introducing a "super strict" mode that's triggered for "<!doctype html>" only is not a path we'd like to take.

> Moreover, an input/textarea which is not displayed, e.g. nested in a block-element with display:none, generates a console error: "An invalid form control with name='input_or_text_area_name_attribute' is not focusable.", which is vague at best.

Please file a separate bug for this.
