[Bug 17429] is the "name" attribute valid on <meta> element in <body> context? Validator says no at the moment, but this document doesn't preclude the possibility.

If you're looking just at the W3C HTML spec itself only, that does actually
preclude the possibility of the meta element being using in the body atl,
because it classifies meta strictly as metadata content, which is only allowed
within the head element.

But the Microdata spec says that if a meta element has an itemprop attribute,
that makes it flow content and phrasing content, which allows it to be used in
the body. But it also adds the restriction that If a meta element has an
itemprop attribute, the name, http-equiv, and charset attributes must be
omitted.

So that means meta@name is never allowed in the body.
