Comment:
Confusing, awkward phrasing (required re-reading the examples, several times,
in order to understand): "Markup without microdata attributes has no effect on
microdata." Suggestion; please consider rephrasing as:	"Markup without
microdata-specific attributes has no effect on markup with microdata-specific
attributes."

Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-02-20 20:34:59 UTC 
It's more like "Markup without the microdata-related attributes does not have any effect on the microdata model".
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-02-20 22:16:07 UTC 
Fixed. Send me an e-mail with your name so I can acknowledge you!
