Could you give some specific markup examples? As always these things
are a balancing act. We want simple, intuitive markup; but we also
want to scale by having common structures across different domains and
industries. And all topics overlap: we wouldn't want one structure for
'vacation rentals', and an entirely different one for 'non-vacation
rentals', for example. Real estate in general crops up here
periodically too, and the generic geo-areas of schema.org also have
potential for improvement. Examples really help ground these
discussions, particularly when they're drawn from real-world sites and
actual HTML...

cheers,

Dan
