Some of the microdata examples fail validation due to this. See http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-November/024109.html

If it isn't immediately clear what the problem is I can provide some example pages which I think are valid which currently fail on validator.nu.

It's clear what the problem is -- it's just that the schema has not been updated yet to include the changes to allow the link and meta elements outside of head. I will look today and try to get the changes made
