[Bug 12918] I found that you limited the keywords acceptable for the meta-name attribute and for the link-rel attribute. In the specs you use exhaustive lists of allowed keywords. In my opinion you should only suggest keywords. See also http://webhel.blogspot.com/20

Sorry that I was not clear enough. It is okay that there is a wiki where you
might find the meaning of a keyword.

The problem with the suggested mechanism is that the content of a tag (i.e. the
meta tag) is part of the HTML5 standard. That is curious in my opinion.

When there is a company with a big name comes with a new keyword (=content) it
will probably be accepted soon. However when a small company comes with a new
keyword, all websites which use this content does not follow the HTML5
standard. That's very strange in my opinion.

The HTML standard should deal with tags, not with the content. 

When I created the website I used some content which may be outdated today. No
problem with that. Updating the website is easy enough. 

I understand that it make sense for the meta tag to describe how the keywords
should be interpreted. As time flows by the used keywords will change. I think
it doesnīt make sense to change the HTML5 standard everytime a keyword changes.
By making the wiki part of the standard this will be the case. Isnīt it better
that in the HTML5 standard you only suggest the use of the meta keywords as
mentioned on the wiki?
