How to get Google Rich Snippets to work?

Question

I'm adding Google Rich Snippets to my product pages for better SERP results. These are described at:
http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=146750
and see its single product page example.
The problem is BC is stripping out the attribute itemscope from the tags. See the source code for http://www.caaase.com/apple/iphone-5-case
Product Snippet:
Should be (per Google link above):
<div itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Product">
After saving in BC:
<div itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Product">
Nested Offer Snippet:
Should be (per Google link above):
<span itemprop="offerDetails" itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Offer">
After saving in BC:
<span itemprop="offerDetails" itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Offer">
As a result, the Rich Snippet doesn't work. See http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.caaase.com%2Fappl e%2Fiphone-5-case&html=
Ideas?

Hi Wayne,
The editor conforms to XHTML and will try to format content and html in it to that.
Things like this do not and thus it edits them.
For coding the editor is not designed for this, do not use it. Placing such code in layouts, templates etc should always be done in a proper local editor or through the "develop" online editor tool provided by BC if you are a partner.
