Each of those pages on the Google developers site *should* contain the
text "Note: This schema is not yet part of the official schema.org
vocabulary and is pending review by schema.org. Therefore, it may be
subject to changes.".

It looks like some in-progress types which are not yet officially
finalised have mistakenly been marked as "Note: This schema is part of
the schema.org vocabulary. It is mirrored here for your convenience."
instead.

Schema.org is the one true reference for schema.org.

When we put together the documentation site for these Google products
we debated whether to use different URLs for proposed types but
instead settled on having the disclaimer text. I will report the error
and get this fixed, thanks for pointing it out.

Which types from which site can i use, if the "standard" site gives 404 to type, which are peresent at developers.google.com? Are all webmaster forced now to stop using microdata till there will be only one standard site again?
