Something that caught my attention while reading
http://www.jenitennison.com/blog/node/164 - "The itemid can’t just be empty:
the . is the shortest URI you can use to reference the page itself."

I thought that itemid="" would mean the same thing, but it appears that itemId
is resolved differently from most other URL attributes because it is a "valid
URL potentially surrounded by spaces".

Is there a reason why itemid is not just a "valid URL" like most other URL
properties?
