This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-link-element Comment: Remove redundant category "If the itemprop attribute is present: flow content.", as this is already covered by phrasing content. This applies to both the link and meta elements Posted from: 213.236.208.22
Also note that the equivalent section in the HTML5 Microdata delta spec only states that these elements are phrasing content. So removing the flow content category will resolve this discrepancy too.
Changing this bug to be about correcting the discrepancy in the Microdata spec. It seems that all phrasing content elements are explicitly listed as being in Flow Content, so this isn't really a bug in the complete spec as I thought. This statement from the Micordata delta spec should be updated to mention Flow Content too. "If the itemprop attribute is present on link or meta, they are phrasing content. The link and meta elements may be used where phrasing content is expected if the itemprop attribute is present."
