Yes it can. Our reviews have the ‘item’ part at the top of the page  
and then the reviews themselves appear further down.

Operator for Firefox has a debug mode that shows the parsed object  
structure from the page, so you can see that everything is as you  
expect.

One HUGE update to what I've said previously though. I'll quote my  
other mail to the list from earlier today. In short, we've had a  
problem with using OBJECT, so switched to the alternative hyperlink  
include pattern instead (http://microformats.org/wiki/include- 
pattern#hyperlink_include_example)

Please do note the last point about including inner text in the  
hyperlink. The wiki is out of data and shows examples with empty A  
elements. That's bad accessibility practice, and I intend to rectify  
the examples once I get some consensus from my ‘OBJECT include  
pattern…’ thread.
