Looking at HTML5: "Conformance checkers must use the information given on the WHATWG Wiki MetaExtensions page to establish if a value not explicitly defined in this specification is allowed or not. Conformance checkers may cache this information (e.g. for performance reasons or to avoid the use of unreliable network connectivity). When an author uses a new type not defined by either this specification or the Wiki page, conformance checkers should offer to add the value to the Wiki, with the details described above, with the "proposal" status." -- <http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#attr-meta-name> So a page using meta/@name=keywords currently is non-conforming. Is everybody aware of that? Is this really intended? I also note that validator.nu doesn't seem to implement this, see <http://validator.nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fchrome%2Findex.html&showsource=yes> BR, Julian
