Doesn't work with nested scopes:

<html itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Article" class="no-js" lang="nl">
  <head>
    <meta itemprop="name" content="Some article name">
  </head>
  <body>
    <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Movie">
      <span itemprop="name">Skyfall</span>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

The article name is detected as Skyfall, not Some article name.

Yeah, good catch. Would probably require a different design for the scopes function.
