This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The link elements in the example at http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/microdata.html#examples-1 lack the rel attribute,: <link itemprop="http://purl.org/dc/terms/type" href="http://purl.oreilly.com/product-types/EBOOK"> ...but http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/semantics.html#attr-link-rel says that the rel attribute must be present on all link elements.
