The "itemListOrder" property already exists. It is supposed to signal
whether this list is ordered, and if so, is it an ascending or descending
list.

The new "positionBasis" is designed to give more information for how
something came to be in a particular position. For example, if I want to
mark up the Billboard 200 artists with the most cumulative weeks at number
one (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_200), I could give the
Beatles the positionBasis of 132.

I think it is fair to ask whether positionBasis needs to carry units as
well as a value.
