Offline commenting can fail if the user does not provide valid fields

[westonruter]

The comment form has a novalidate attribute to force server-side validation of the fields. This is done to bypass HTML5 client-side form validation, since it used to be that the validation was not reliable across browsers. Even so, novalidate remains. So at the moment someone could enter a comment but then leave the Name or Email empty, and submit the comment while offline. Once the user is back online, background sync will try to submit the comment but it will be rejected by WordPress due to not having a name or email.

So the PWA plugin should remove the novalidate attribute from the comment form as I suggested in TRAC-47595.

This may be obsolete (or punted) if offline commenting is removed per #363 (comment).

Obsolete since offline commenting has been removed in #728.

[pooja-muchandikar]

As per #364 (comment) this feature is entirely removed from the plugin.
