Given that Gecko is implementing the unprefixed getItems (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591467), I don't see benefits in implementing with webkit prefix.

Just so I understand, you're talking about the DOM APIs for interacting with microdata, right? I know there was some controversy in the HTML working group about Microdata versus RDFa. It's not 100% clear to me which of those technologies will "win out" in the end, but it seems valuable to impleme

Hi, I have been looking at HTML5 Microdata implementation in Webkit. Microdata is a specification used to nest semantics within existing content on web pages. Search engines, web crawlers, and browsers can extract and process Microdata from a web page and use it to provide a richer browsing expe
