Description Philip Jägenstedt 2011-07-29 18:03:09 CEST
This is a lot trickier than the syntax validation.

 - Which vocabularies?

 - How to express "schemas" for microdata so that not every constraint needs to be hard coded?

 - When the property value comes from textContent, how to give error messages that actually include the content that is not valid? (Locator just points to the element itself, it seems.)

Perhaps something simple like http://n.whatwg.org/work could be used as a test balloon.

This isn't doing anything useful without the next step, I'm just leaving the patch here as a backup...
