Spring form tag and HTML 5 still incompatible?

Question

I am using a spring form tag

<%@ taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" prefix="form" %>

<form:input path="name.lastName" cssClass="text" maxlength="30"/>

When I try to add the new required html5 attribute

<form:input path="name.lastName" required="required" cssClass="text" maxlength="30"/>

I get this error message when the jsp is converted to html

<pre>org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /WEB-INF/pages/admission/registration/patientForm.jsp(168,5) PWC6131: Attribute required invalid for tag input according to TLD

Are the springframework tags ready for html 5 ? If yes, how do i use them ?

I am using spring 2.5

pradeek.. The thread you posted is not really related to spring form tags.. — Frank, Nov 22 '11 at 03:29
Ok so I researched a bit more and I found out that I need to upgrade to spring mvc 3. — Frank, Nov 22 '11 at 03:43

I don't believe Spring form tags has compatibility with the 'required' tag yet. If you look in the TLD it is not a valid input – alwinc Dec 30 '12 at 13:04
