Logging this bug at the request of Philip Jägenstedt:

When you use the same @itemid on the page, and you retrieve data using the
Microdata DOM API, is the expected behavior that:

1) All properties for the same @itemid are merged with two separate items on
the page.
2) All properties and types for the same @itemid are merged.
3) What happens when somebody does a getItems() and uses one of the itemtypes -
are all properties returned?

With RDFa and RDF in general, all things w/ the same "@itemid" (aka: "@about")
would be merged into a single object with multiple types when retrieved via the
RDFa API. This is, in fact, what happens with RDF output for Philip's Microdata
parser. However, the JSON output creates two objects with non-overlapping
properties. What is the proper behavior?
