Hi,

Note that examples regarding mainContentOfPage on schema.org are also 
misleading.
E.g. : http://schema.org/Table
=>  <meta itemprop="mainContentOfPage" content="true"/>

I would have expected
<div itemprop="mainContentOfPage" itemscope 
itemtype="http://schema.org/Table">


But I fully agree it would be much more usefull to have 
mainContentOfPage as a 'Thing' rather than 'WebPageElement'
