Re: Schema.org and nested items

Hi,

I've setup real examples of the two possible approches :

With "about" :

http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wiktik.com%2Femploi%2Foffres%2Fcharge-relations-entreprises-ressources-humaines-12829&view=

With "mainContentOfPage" :

http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wiktik.com%2Fformation%2Foffres%2Fformation-contre-illettrisme-12754&view=

The advantage of "about" is it's more simple...

Note that I've made the changes for the itemtype on the body, but it 
doesn't seem to make a big difference.


Thanks,
   Jocelyn Fournier
