Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: There's a whole section on itemid="". I don't understand the problem
here. I can't tell you what it means, it's entirely up to the vocabulary. It's
like asking what id="" means. It's just a global identifier. How you use it is
up to the author (in the case of id="") or the vocabulary (in the case of
itemid="").

(In the WHATWG copy I've tried to clarify what the global identifier means for
vCard and vEvent; that doesn't affect the W3C subset of the spec. Diff below.)
