Re: Syntax for itemprop breadcrumb

Hi Aaron,
I personally interpreted breadcrumb like:

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Thing">
   <a href="category/books.html" itemprop="breadcrumb">Books</a>  >
   <a href="category/books-literature.html" itemprop="breadcrumb">Literature&  Fiction</a>  >
   <a href="category/books-classics" itemprop="breadcrumb">Classics</a>  >
   Boring Classics
<h1 itemprop="name">Boring Classics</h1>
  </div>


1 breadcrumb per Item/Link (semantically more obvious and less work to 
determine what is what?)

You'd have a list of breadcrumb(s). This should however be an ordered list.
