This is actually RDFa, but I tried using Microdata instead of RDFa, and the Rich Snippets Testing Tool only picked up on RDFa and not Microdata for breadcrumbs

I think we should keep it consistant and use microdata/schema.org.

Breadcrumbs require a webpage item,

itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage"

on the body tag. Ill add the breadcrumb microdata but in order to use it the theme will need to add this. We can't access the body property.

That was my first thought, but when testing with google's rich snippet
tool, microdata formatted breadcrumbs don't show up even though Google says
they should.

Once you add the body WebPage itemtype, they are picked up.
