Because HTML5 has no mechanism for extending the language with elements/attributes in a conforming way. At least that's my understanding, I way very well be wrong. In any event, even if it were easy to split it out I see no benefit for HTML5 at large or Microdata. Discussion on this issue is futile however, I am just stating my opinion here and am sure this issue will be forced to a vote before it can be settled. -- Philip Jägenstedt
