Commit summary for MediaWiki.r111439:

Introduce property: and itemprop: support for addMeta to add RDFa <meta 
property="..." content="..."> and Microdata <meta itemprop="..." content="..."> 
to the <head>.
This is done in a way that can also be feature tested, and technically could be 
expanded by extensions.

GWicke's comment:

I believe it would be cleaner and less damaging to future microdata use if we 
instead provided a method for extensions to add an (optional) itemscope / id 
and multiple contained itemprops within the header. This way microdata with 
custom itemtypes can be safely added without breaking the global itemtype for a 
page. By making the itemscope optional, bare itemprops can still be added to 
extend a global itemtype (presumably WebPage). Using the itemref mechanism, 
extension output in the body can also extend a microdata item introduced in the 
header. 

I would be happy to create such a microdata-specific method, and would prefer 
if microdata support was not added to addMeta().
