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.

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.

Now you're asking me to provide examples of something I haven't stated.

but not with each other.
