An after thought I have on why @itemid should allow relative urls is for
the benefit of reducing fragility under copy and paste if the following
example does get copied and reproduced somewhere else on the web, it may
not seem *obvious* to an unsuspecting author to change the value of itemid.
<div id="a"
itemid="http://organization.com/#a"
itemscope
itemtype="http://microformats.org/profile/hcard">
<a itemprop="url fn org" href="http://organization.com/">
Example Oranization
</a>
</div>
@itemid is not visible data is is? imagine an author changing that
snippet of code in a wysiwyg editor such as Dreamweaver, fragile it
would seem. Allowing relative urls also would reduce/remove this risk.
Best wishes
