Comment:
In 1.2 I see example:
<h1 itemscope>
 <data itemprop="product-id" value="9678AOU879">The Instigator 2000</data>
</h1>

Here, there is an item with a property whose value is a product ID. The ID is
not human-friendly, so the product's name is used the human-visible text
instead of the ID.

But instead of attribute named "value" I propose use attribute named
"itemvalue". So there will be difference between common attribute named
"value" that is for HTML and attribute named "itemvalue" that is for microdata
only. In my opinion correct example must be:
<h1 itemscope>
 <data itemprop="product-id" itemvalue="9678AOU879">The Instigator 2000</data>

</h1>
