Fair point. Just brainstorming here: how about making about an attribute?
<div item id="amanda" about="http://...."></div>
<p>Name: <span subject="amanda" itemprop="name">Amanda</span></p>
We still have two identifiers, but at least giving the URI is simplified.
Best,

Hi All,
I've been taking a closer look at microdata. While I like the
proposal in general, in particular the chance to unite microformat
style annotations with some of the Semantic Web formalism (such as
URIs for objects), there are still a number of points that I feel
could be improved. So here are my proposals for discussion:
#1
The use of a URI as the value of the id attribute. It seems to me
there is actually nothing in the spec that would stop this:

IDs like that would be very hard to use as fragment identifier...
