Yes, much as I like the idea, I think we should put the feature into
microdata rather than wedge it in through this spec.


Having a spec for extracting item proper ever we into triples is a healthy
precursor for having actual tools which do that, which in turn is a big
part of making the case that such a change to microdata would be useful and
used. This is only a Note - my opinion is strongly in favour of including
it, although with health/status warnings.

This update represents a substantial simplification to the algorithm by
eliminating unused mechanisms and simplifies generation of implied triples
