If this is a correct interpretation: How would one handle standard bold, italic, etc. markup inside properties such as articleBody (http://schema.org/Article)? This seems like a fairly major limitation, in that receivers don't even necessarily have access to the original HTML content in order to perform their own transformations or sanitization. I've made an attempt to write up the issues for potential submission as a bug on microdata here: http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML_Data_Improvements#Structured_Values As I note in that text, the inability for microdata to capture HTML values has been raised as a bug before [1] and closed by Hixie. I think that to be persuaded that there is a need for capturing HTML structures, he would need to see evidence of consumers currently using HTML structures in whatever they do. Is this something that schema.org processors currently do and if so how do they use the HTML content? Does it come through in Rich Snippets?
