I'm not sure what happens in schema.org interpreters when you specify one/other/both/multiple urls... Hi Jeni, Probably not like @itemid, but it could probably be defined to have a value which is an object, rather than a literal when converted to RDF. We might could explore spec language for asserting that. The fact that URNs can't be used as subjects (or non-literal objects) makes it difficult to use microdata for anything that's not a URL. Also, few schema.org examples even use @itemid. The original purpose of microdata is to provide structure to data in HTML, not as an RDF serialization format; it can be used for this, but in IMO, that's more for allowing the use of RDF tool chains, rather than for creating a true linked data graph.
