(about pinned sites in IE9):

"...
   <meta name="application-name" content="Channel 9 Audio Player" />
..."

This reminds me that I postponed this issue because I wanted to wait for 
the outcome of ISSUE-27 (which is still pending).

I think this is particularly important because validator.nu does *not* 
check validity of meta/@name, so some of the browser makers introducing 
new names may not even be aware that they're supposed to register their 
names.
