Comment:
<meter> should work better with microdata. It would make sense to use value
attribute as property value. It would be useful when a property takes value
from known range and it is represented as a gauge, for example <meter
itemprop=score min=0 max=10 value=8>quite good</meter> (if md vocabulary
specifies "score" to take value between 0 and 10). Other attributes of <meter>
wouldn't be represented in microdata, separate property elements (probably
<meta>) would  be needed if range needs to be represented in md. <progress> is
less likely to be useful with microdata since it is mostly intended for use by
scripts, but it makes sense to treat it in same way for consistency with
<meter>. <param> should use value attribute for microdata too.

Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-06-12 22:19:14 UTC 
<meter> makes sense, I've added that.

<progress> and <param> I don't understand. Can you elaborate?

(Making <progress> and <meter> similar is actually a non-goal; they both exist precisely to avoid them being treated the same.)

Checked in as WHATWG revision r7966.
Check-in comment: Add <meter> to microdata, and <meter> and <progress> to the table sorting algorithm.
