Describe conversion to RDFa

@chaals, FWIW, my code does exactly what you describe.

Hmmm. Dealing with itemref seems to throw up an issue. As I understand it the example in the spec (gotta fix #71)

<div id="x">
 <p itemprop="a">1</p>
</div>
<div itemscope itemref="x">
 <p itemprop="b">test</p>
 <p itemprop="a">2</p>
</div>

Should produce the same output as

<div vocab="http://example.com/">
<div resource="#x" typeof="rdfa:Pattern" id="x">
 <p property="a">1</p>
</div></div>
<div vocab="http://example.com/" typeof="thing">
 <link rel="rdfa:copy" href="#x">
 <p property="b">test</p>
 <p property="a">2</p>
</div>

plus an extra node with the rdfa:Pattern.

It does for the structured data linter, and Yandex' SDV, but not in Google's validator.

@danbri, @iherman?

My understanding is that the Google parsers should currently handle Microdata's itemref, but not RDFa 1.1's rdfa:Pattern property-copying. Is that consistent with what you're seeing?
