It appears that this change was introduced in commit
d5bbf365533ba45d72ebed8121c7612c860ea944.  It also introduced the
insertion of the attribute "data-editor-type" in the HTML export, when

  1. `org-html-klipsify-src' is true, and

  2. an HTML source block is being exported.

Now, "data-editor-type" is not a valid attribute with respect to the
XHTML1 Strict DTD (or any other W3C X/HTML DTD).  Therefore, when 1 and
2 are true, this attribute renders the exported HTML files invalid with
respect to the DTDs in `org-html-doctype-alist'.  I think this would
count as a drawback to those who care about HTML validation, especially
since ox-html indicates its concern for validation through
`org-html-validation-link', etc.

I don't know what is the best way to deal with this problem.  One
possibility is to put a warning in the documentation of
`org-html-klipsify-src' that setting it to true would lead to invalid
HTML exports when the Org file contains an HTML source block.

Cheers,
Raghu.
