I have long thought that <META> wasn;t a good place to put meta-data.
I would by far prefer to see meta-data specified outside the document
using SGML/XML or some DTD, and then link to it. Something like:
<META LINK="http://foo.com/meta.xml">
The only other alternative is to do something akin to the HTML
tags used for embedding:
<META>
<PROPERTY NAME="FOO">
<PARAM NAME="bar" VALUE="BAZ">
...
</PROPERTY>
...
</META>

I must apologise, as I've just joined the list and really haven't
had time to review the available material yet....
