Re: sdo 3.1 - Offering a Room

simply use TWO schema.org types for the object of thr offer in the markup. search for MTE (multi-typed entity) in the discussions. so the hotel room will be both a HotelRoom and a Product at the instance level (instead of at the vocab level). we chose that design bc MTEs are important for thr future expansion of schema.org, and having this as the default pattern for this important new segment will be a good lever for proper support od MTEs in the production systems of major consumers of schema.org markup.
