They both use "item" and it seems logical that they should work exactly the same in that area...but they are just different enough to cause parsing issues.

--- this is a problem and it should be implemented in the same way
that hReview is, FN is a child of ITEM.

Since there are already public examples of that on edgeio I wonder if the restriction in hReview should be relaxed regarding ("fn", "url", "photo") as child nodes.  It also seems that a second identifier within the same @class attribute is really a child anyway.

--- in the class attribute, the order of properties is not important,
so you can't say that it will always be the second identifer. The ITEM
property acts as a container that then has additional metadata such as
FN, TYPE, PHOTO, etc.

hListing should be updated to reflect this.
