Since 1.0.0rc1 that was released 5 months ago (1.0.0 went gold 2 months ago), the custom attributes used for by AngularJS can be turned into valid html5 attributes by prepending the "ng-*" AngularJS attributes with "data-". For example,

  <html ng-app>
can be turned into a valid attribute by making it

  <html data-ng-app>
I'm really glad to see how quickly the AngularJS team is addressing concerns like these. AngularJS is moving very fast, and there is a lot of room for improvements in documentation. But a quick check with the changelog would have showed that AngularJS supports the use of valid custom attributes for directives almost half a year ago.
