It's my understanding that "item" in microformats was intended purely as
a delimiter, with the same - empty - semantic value as SPAN and DIV in
HTML.
It is a container for subproperties (or a submicroformat) , in hReview,
similar to how "adr" is a container for subproperties.
Quite, we use "adr" not "item", because "adr" (meaning "address") is a
more precise, and thus more semantically meaningful, container - it
names the thing it contains.
The hReview spec is unhelpful in this regard, specifying it thus:
item info. required. fn (url || photo ) | hCard (for person or
business) | hCalendar (for event)
where "item" is in CODE tags but "info." is not, and is not explained.
What help were you expecting? Perhaps I can add it either in the
specification or in a tutorial / authoring page.
A definition of item, in the context of the review microformat, without
the apparently stray textual fragment of "info."
The use of "pipe" separators and parentheses, without a clear statement
of their meaning, is also unhelpful.
The subsequent definition gives:
[...]
and the use of "item" in the examples is not consistent:
Could you provide a specific explanation of which example is inconsistent
with which statement in the prose of the specification?
Now you're asking me to provide examples of something I haven't stated.
The examples below are consistent with the specification quoted above
but not with each other.
