Possible bugs and Itemscope on <link/> and <meta/&g

[timvanoostrom]

Hi, is the following disambiguous, a bug or not entering my mind the way it was intended.

HTML5 spec, 5.2.2 Items : "Every HTML element may have an itemscope attribute specified."

Correct example :
[code]
<div itemtype="http://url.to/geoVocab#country" itemscope>
<span itemprop="http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/index.rdf#name" lang="cn">中è

Could you send this to the WHATWG list or file a spec bug?

In your first example lang="cn" is invalid, you want lang="zh-CN" for simplified Chinese as used in the PRC. The datetime format is also invalid, should be "2009-11-26T11:43".

In the second example you need to use

Code: Select all

<time itemprop="http://url.to/physicsVocab#time" datetime="2009-11-26T11:43">11:43 pm (CT)</time>

as datetime is not a valid attribute on span.

Hmm, i see. Well, from the 1st example you can see i meant to use <time> forgot to change the 2nd example. I didn't check for the datetime format, i just assumed it would be something like mysql's datetime format.
So technically :

Code: Select all

"Correct example :"  is not so correct after all
