Motivation
Some fields, such as taxonomy references, should be handled as string-valued properties some times and as item-valued properties other times. Sometimes the module developer will be the one doing this (using hook_microdata_value_type_alter), but many times it will be the user who is configuring the site.
Proposed Solution
Offer a checkbox for any field to optionally handle it as an item.

Comment #3
Anonymous (not verified) commentedIt's probable that this functionality should only be added if the field is defined as an 'item' to start with. Otherwise, the item won't be added as a meta tag, as it needs to be for #1554650: Support microdata output in Views, Panels, etc.
