html - Is <link> (not rel="stylesheet") allowed to be used in <body>?

html - Is <link> (not rel="stylesheet") allowed to be used in <body>?

The new schema.org by Google, Yahoo and MS recommends usage of the <link> attribute to display the status of products in an online shop:

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer">
  <span itemprop="name">Blend-O-Matic</span>
  <span itemprop="price">$19.95</span>
  <link itemprop="availability" href="http://schema.org/InStock"/>Available today!
</div>

Yet, according to w3schools.org <link> is only allowed in head sections:

Note: This element goes only in the head section, but it can appear any number of times.

I am not used to W3C style, so I was not able to understand the exact definition by W3C. Can anybody help me: Is it really allowed to use <link> within the body (in HTML5, as schema.org uses HTML5 tags) or do Google, Yahoo and MS break the standard?

Link is allowed in BODY. I had same problem validating link tag in HTML5 and I solved it with this

<link rel="stylesheet" property="stylesheet" href="css/homepage.css">

Need to have both property and rel tag

UPDATE 2016 (thanks to yuyokk below): There was a change to HTML5 spec recently that allows having links in the body
