The .properties attribute "must return an HTMLPropertiesCollection rooted
at the Document node, whose filter matches only elements that have
property names", which further filters the results of the algorithm.
Similarly, everything that uses the algorithm here does things "for each
property name", so if itemprop="" doesn't have any tokens, nothing happens
and it doesn't matter that the algorithm returns it.
