[whatwg] multiple itemtypes in microdata?

[Lin Clark]

Itemtype in my example is like 'kind' in your example. You are right, it is
basically a privileged property.

Because the words type and kind are pretty synonymous (groups of things that
have common characteristics), I would think that specifying an itemtype and
then specifying a separate kind might be confusing to users, just because of
the wording.
