Description Michael[tm] Smith 2009-11-19 20:32:54 UTC 
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.
