 * Hi, I’ve scanned my HTML with a validator and I’ve found some errors on itemprop
   syntax.
 * “Exactly one of the ‘name’, ‘http-equiv’, ‘charset’, ‘property’, and ‘itemprop’
   attributes must be specified on a meta tag.”
 * In fact I see that we have <meta name=”description” itemprop=”description” …>
 * Thank you

 * I think the validator is reporting a false error. It says that itemprop must 
   be specified on a meta tag and as you can see from the code it is specified on
   a meta tag. I believe this is an issue we’re addressed before in these forums
   where the HTML validator just doesn’t like or understand Schema.org markup.

 * I think that the validator is reporting another kind of error.
    It doesn’t like
   that on the same meta tag there are “name” and “itemprop” attributes.
 * Probabily it can be solved using a meta with “name” attribute and another meta
   with “itemprop” attribute.
 * What do you think? Am I right!?

 * That would result in invalid Schema markup which would presumably affect whether
   search engines read and use it.
