Description
The removeData() function isn't working. At first I though my application was just rediculously complex, but a stripped-down test-case prooves that removeData() appears to do absolutely nothing.
I created a plainvanilla div, added a data attribute, and, as per the documentation, expected it to be removed by removeData(), but it does no such thing.
See this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/6T6pV/
Documentation says:
"Removing data from jQuery's internal .data() cache does not effect any HTML5 data- attributes in a document; use .removeAttr() to remove those."
Where I assumed "those" to refer to "HTML5 data- attributes in a document", and expected removeData to, well, remove those :)
I don't know how else to read, so IMO it's a bug either in the documentation, or in jQuery itself.
Tried it on Opera 12.14 and Firefox 19.

Which is not working, as the jsfiddle demonstrates.

It most certainly does: http://jsfiddle.net/dmethvin/6T6pV/1/
The documentation is correct and clear. The **those** refers to **HTML5 data attributes** and indeed you must use
.removeAttr()to remove **those**.
