Re: ItemList proposal

I think the omission of 'itemposition' is problematic in this case as there
is no implied order. Which a breadcrumb definitely has. That's actually one
of the things I think is wrong with the datavocabulary breadcrumb (as well
as it generating multiple top level entities without any property to link
them to the WebPage).

Without 'itemposition' we'd have to revert to nesting elements to be able
to preserve the order.
