Comment 7 is correct. itemid="" is just a way to give an identifier to the
item; it's up to the vocabulary to define whether multiple items with the same
global identifier (whether on the same page or on different pages) make sense,
are or are not conforming, and what the processing rules for that vocabulary
are with respect to handling the case of multiple items with the same ID.

I've clarified the spec to this effect.
