numberOfItems clarification #439
Description
The current description of numberOfItems:
The number of items in an ItemList. Note that some descriptions might not full describe all items in a list (e.g. multi-page pagination).
I think the second sentence could be more clear; a Stack Overflow user is also not sure about it.
It is my understanding that numberOfItems should always specify the total number, even for paginated or teaser lists. Correct?
Example: The homepage contains a sidebar, "My favorite movies", teasing only 2 of 6 movies, with a link to the page with the full list. In both cases, numberOfItems should be 6.

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ItemList">
<meta itemprop="numberOfItems" content="6"/>
<p itemprop="itemListElement">…</p>
<p itemprop="itemListElement">…</p>
<a itemprop="url" href="/favorite-movies">Full list</a>
</div>

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ItemList">
<link itemprop="url" href="/favorite-movies"/>
<meta itemprop="numberOfItems" content="6"/>
<p itemprop="itemListElement">…</p>
<p itemprop="itemListElement">…</p>
<p itemprop="itemListElement">…</p>
<p itemprop="itemListElement">…</p>
<p itemprop="itemListElement">…</p>
<p itemprop="itemListElement">…</p>
</div>I guess it would be different if the ItemList items had different URLs, as we’d have multiple lists then, not the same represented differently. Correct?
