Example for link-less crumb

[ABM-Dan]

All of the provided examples feature a link, what about when you don't want a link for the current page?

I believe the rough consensus for the latest breadcrumbs design was that you can just omit that info for current page, but this isn't made explicit at schema.org.

This assumption is currently made more explicit in Google's (product-oriented) documentation for breadcrumbs at https://developers.google.com/structured-data/breadcrumbs -
"The breadcrumb trail may include or omit a breadcrumb for the page on which it appears."

Looking at http://schema.org/BreadcrumbList which says "A BreadcrumbList is an ItemList consisting of a chain of linked Web pages, typically described using at least their URL and their name, and typically ending with the current page. " ... perhaps this could be amended to "and typically (but not necessarily) ending with the current page."?

Still, it's an existing design pattern, and if it means that the last item has no metadata attached, an example could show just that.
