When using Microdata syntax (itemscope itemtype itemprop etc), it is best to follow the Microdata rules fully, and include the "itemscope" attribute even if it seems useless. A few years ago there were some big debates about whether to use Microdata or the related earlier standard, RDFa. RDFa doesn't have a direct equivalent to itemscope. In recent years we have tried to include both Microdata and RDFa examples on the schema.org site, as well as examples written in JSON-LD. Dan
