[whatwg] Microdata and Linked Data

[Peter Mika]

Fair point. Just brainstorming here: how about making about an attribute?

<div item id="amanda" about="http://...."></div>
<p>Name: <span subject="amanda" itemprop="name">Amanda</span></p>

We still have two identifiers, but at least giving the URI is simplified.

Best,
Peter
