Re: Schema.org v1.6 release candidate: Roles, various fixes, site navigation improvements

Not to be nitpicky but it would be very great if, on for example
http://schema.org/winner, withing the description: "A sub property of
participant. The winner of the action.", the super-property (participant in
this case) would be a link to the page about the property.
