Meta tags are in common use, and are still recognized by search
engines (although now things like keywords are mostly ignored). Even
Google pays attention to a description meta-tag, if it can find no
content within a document.

I see no reason to remove them, unless they were replaced with a
specialized XML language for adding semantic information (which could
be interesting actually, hmmm...).
