Specifically I'm aware of one indexing software (which comes with the (old) MS SiteServer software) which fails to index <meta /> elements, but works with <meta >. I would say this was a failure of the spec (which was designed to coexist with the current generation of user agents) and my enthusiasm for using a new W3C format. I'm sure I'm not alone in this - and I think there is a need for authorative advice on the need to test more widely than just with common browsers.
