Is a consensus now forming around the position that shoe-horning any more functionality into the limits of what is possible within a single attribute string in HTML is maybe not such a smart move? Of all the dot dot paren escape character sequences so far proposed has any one commanded much support from anyone except its proposer? And does any such solution exist in a form where Joe Home-Page is going to be able to type it in and get it right the first time without having to find the manual? Because if the answer to more than one of these is "no", I think it's time to review the original decision to put more than simple unstructured strings into the meta tags of HTML. If we want to this job properly, let's use tools that exist, and a mechanism that works. Let's use SGML or XML to define the structure of our metadata packages, and the Warwick framework to embed those packages. And chalk the last few month's discussion up to experience! Lou
