I have just sent the appended mail to the mailing list of the W3C HTML
working group. If you are using the SCHEME attribute of META, or have
implemented a tool that creates or makes use of this attribute, please
mail the full details ASAP to the public mailing list of the W3C HTML WG
([log in to unmask]). If you are a member of the W3C HTML WG, please also
mail the private mailing list of the WG. If you have created Web pages
which make use of SCHEME, or have created tools allowing others to do
so, please give the appropriate URLs and say approximately how many Web
pages at that URL make use of SCHEME. If you do respond, please do so
ASAP.
Thank you,
Misha
